Building Resilience
Because resilience isn’t about bouncing back — it’s about bouncing forward.

Why This Matters
The pace of change, uncertainty, and pressure in today’s workplaces can drain even the most capable teams. Resilience isn’t just the ability to endure — it’s the capacity to adapt, learn, and emerge stronger from challenges.
This workshop helps participants understand the science and practice of resilience. Through experiential activities, reflection, and real-life scenarios, they explore how to manage stress, reframe setbacks, and sustain energy — individually and collectively.
Research by the American Psychological Association (APA) shows that resilient employees are:
60%
Less likely to experience burnout
23%
More engaged at work
12%
Boost in productivity

Walk-Through of Learner Experience
At FocusU, every learning experience follows a deliberate arc — moving participants
from awareness to application, and from insight to action.
| STAGE | WHAT HAPPENS |
|---|---|
| Discover | Participants experience engaging activities, challenges and scenarios that surface real attitudes, assumptions, and patterns of behaviour. |
| Reflect | Guided debriefs and discussions help them make sense of what they experienced - connecting it to their personal and workplace realities. |
| Reframe | Learners explore new mindsets, tools, and frameworks that offer fresh ways to approach everyday challenges. |
| Apply | Through practice, planning, and peer feedback, participants translate insights into actionable commitments they can take back to work. |
Every FocusU intervention is designed to move learners from knowing to doing — ensuring
learning doesn’t end in the workshop, but continues in how people think, collaborate, and lead.

I had an amazing experience for all four days and am sure it was same experience of my colleagues who attended the session. The concepts of bringing new ideas on to the table, igniting critical thinking, understanding the team in a better way through activities and taking the whole group along the course was amazing. Overall it was a fabulous and well-structured, object oriented training.

Thank you FocusU and Smollan L&D team for designing such a wonderful continuous learning program. It acted like small and effective doses to look for what next. Case studies chosen were all relevant for my Global Development Team & I could not ask for more. Let’s plan for some monthly 1 hour on premise confluence sessions.

It forced me to learn and grow in spite of dealing with my busy schedule of juggling between work and a new-born back at home. You helped me understand new concepts in merely 15-30 mins ; and challenged me to think through different issues I should deal with. I should get them sorted mentally in my mind first than in real life. Thank you for helping me grow my knowledge.
