Psychological skills

Building workforce resilience and performance

The world is changing fast, and organisations need to be ready to change too – again and again. We equip workforces with the psychological skills to adapt, connect, perform and thrive, whatever the future holds.

Awareness

Awareness

It's normal to feel negative emotions – it’s part of being human. But as emotions affect more than 90% of our decision-making, it’s important we have the skills to manage them.

Emotional awareness is about noticing our moods and emotions. We can then develop emotional regulation – the ability to manage our emotions – so we can make better decisions for ourselves and the business.

  • Manage emotions
  • Regulate mood
  • Improve decision-making
Focus

Focus

In today’s busy, tech-driven world, distractions are everywhere. These can make it hard for us to maintain our energy and focus, and impact our resilience and performance.

Cognitive load management is about working with the attentional networks in our brain to optimise our productivity and creativity. Attentional control allows us to decide what we pay attention to, and when.

  • Manage distractions
  • Improve energy
  • Promote creativity
Mindset

Mindset

Humans are creatures of habit ­­– we tend to choose familiarity over change. But in a world where change is accelerating, we need to be able to adapt and keep a positive mindset.

Meta-cognition helps us to notice our patterns of thinking. With cognitive flexibility, we can improve our ability to stay open-minded and optimistic in the face of change.

  • Be more adaptive
  • Manage uncertainty
  • Think flexibly
Connection

Connection

The way we work is radically shifting, bringing with it new challenges. Whatever your set-up, building strong relationships and an inclusive culture is more important than ever.

With co-regulation skills, we can proactively use our own emotions to positively influence our colleagues. Active listening enables us to collaborate better, and create psychologically safe environments where people feel included.

  • Strengthen collaboration
  • Harness collective intelligence
  • Build an adaptive, thriving culture
