Leadership Resources
Leading during times of adversity is never easy. To assist, The David and Wanda Brown Center for Leadership & Services has put together some resources to help you do just that. Our team is also available should you need to someone to talk to about that process.
As you respond to the pressures of the semester and the stresses that come with it, we must take the time to consider our Resilience and how it benefits you and the people around you. LeaderShape has developed this curriculum based on the latest research that shows how we can retrain our brains to respond differently to stressful situations. The BCLS is excited to offer this program to you all to help you be the best versions of yourself as a Gator and for the rest of your life! Once you register, you will have access to:
- The three Resilience modules
- A participant manual to work through as you view the modules
- An evaluation to complete once you’ve participated in the modules
You will have until December 31, 2020, to complete all three modules.
The Resilience Modules consists of three one-hour modules that build on each other to help participants actualize their true potential. During the series, participants can expect to:
- Begin to develop core values that build a foundation for practices that strengthen resilience
- Learn about what causes contribute to the need for resilience
- Learn to edit and disrupt our narratives in order to build confidence in ourselves and others
- Identify resilience in our communities
- Reflect on one’s own resilience and how we can co-create resilience within our communities
