Registration for this Workshop is Currently Closed

To request a custom training opportunity virtually, or onsite, for your group or organization, email ce@muih.edu to express your interest for more information. 

Individuals may email ce@muih.edu to be placed on the notification list when a workshop date is available. As we cannot guarantee an onsite date, we recommend those interested in this topic enroll in our companion self-paced online course:  The Physiology of Building Stress Resilience: Science-backed Tools to Thrive in the Face of Stress.

Workshop Description

Resilience is the capacity to prepare for, recover from and adapt in the face of stress, challenge, and adversity.  For health and healthcare practitioners, this requires emotion regulation capacities that allow them to get the most out of higher-order thinking resources.  When clinicians can optimize their cognitive resources, they increase their ability to solve problems with insight, deepen self-regulation, and build social cognition essential for collaboration and helping people facilitate positive change.   Not only does emotion regulation play a fundamental role in developing resiliency, but research also illustrates that the ability to regulate is essential for building trust, maintaining high levels of motivation, and having the capacity to be flexible and adaptive in the face of stress and on-going flux.  Findings in neuroscience and the physiology of stress resilience shine a light on the biological underpinnings of the grit and persistence involved in navigating challenging situations that hold uncertainty, providing a fresh perspective on what it takes to learn and develop personal resilience in dynamic healthcare, professional, and everyday life contexts. 

This evidence-based program is highly interactive and is based on cutting-edge research from the Institute of HeartMath® and the physiology of stress resilience.  It teaches practical tools for strengthening resiliency, improving decision-making, enhancing creativity, and increasing productivity. The tools taught in this program are utilized by surgeons, elite athletes, fortune 100 executives, military, and educations systems to build stress resilience and improve human performance levels.  Participants walk away with a greater capacity to navigate rapidly changing, high-pressure environments. Providing a science-based practical framework of self-regulation tools dramatically helps health and healthcare practitioners gain more inner poise and clarity in the face of change and overwhelm. Improved composure facilitates clearer thinking and a stronger identity with one’s purpose and core values, improving the quality of problem-solving, engagement with clients, and decision making. Participants learn how their responses to events, communications or circumstances can deplete or renew their resiliency.  These strategies can then be transferred into professional practice to improve the outcomes of clients and patients facing similar stressful circumstances.

Learning Outcomes:

At the completion of this workshop, participants will:

• Discover the depletion-renewal resiliency model for intelligent stress management.
• Describe evidenced-based skills for building resilience in the face of change and uncertainty.
• Practice intelligent energy self-regulation techniques.
• Explain the benefits of coherence for personal and work effectiveness.
• Identify the impacts of chronic stress and sleep on performance.
• Evaluate new research on how attitudes and emotions affect co-workers, clients and stakeholders.
• Practice how to better maintain composure for improved decision-making and engagement with clients.
• Model practical strategies for easily integrating resilience-building tools into everyday routines.

 

Planned Activities

Activities include a combination of the presentation of scientific insights that concentrate on the importance of understanding the neurobiology of resiliency and effective self-regulation techniques for self-management in changing environments.  Personal experiences will be shared by practitioners experiential group activities (i.e. self-regulation technique practice) will be included to deepen the learning experience of the participants.  In addition, small roundtable discussions will be facilitated to elicit new connections and insights from the participants on how to apply the information and findings into real-world settings.  A biofeedback demonstration will be included to demonstrate the effects of the practice.  

Participants will also take away a hard-copy and PDF Training Workbook and will have the unique opportunity to engage in an online discussion community pre-and-post workshop to further reinforce and explore this exciting topic!
