Enhancing Your Personal and Professional Resilience is a video-based professional development course designed to help higher education professionals strengthen resilience in both their personal and professional lives. The course challenges the common misconception that resilience means pushing forward at all costs. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of pausing, recharging, and intentionally building habits that support long-term effectiveness and well-being.
Participants learn how to use self-advocacy and reflection as tools for improving resilience and managing the demands of academic and professional responsibilities. The course explores topics such as stress and burnout, the science of resilience, time management, emotional awareness, and strategies for balancing personal and professional commitments.
Through a series of short instructional videos and practical exercises, participants are guided through frameworks that help them reflect on their priorities, advocate for their needs, and create sustainable approaches to work and life. The course also includes a downloadable workbook with exercises designed to help participants apply the concepts to their own professional contexts.
By developing stronger self-advocacy and reflection practices, faculty and academic professionals can build healthier relationships with their work, colleagues, and personal goals while maintaining resilience in complex professional environments.
