“Resilience is the ability to thrive, personally and
professionally, even during times of high pressure,
rapid change and adversity.”
Thrive
“More than education, more than experience, more than training, a person’s
level of resilience determines who succeeds and who fails. That’s true in the
cancer ward, it’s true in the Olympics, and it’s true in the boardroom.”
Dean Becker. (2002). ‘How resilience works’. Harvard Business Review, May, 46–
55.
Resilience is not a fixed characteristic (like
personality), it’s something you can learn and
strengthen over time.
“We can all develop resilience, and we can help our children develop it as well.
It involves behaviors, thoughts and actions that can be learned over time.”
American Psychological Association (APA)

In a world of increasing demands and growing
uncertainty, resilience has never been more important.
Leading employers believe that resilience will
become a key attribute for future employees.

the additional bonus on the course was a Personalised

All our programmes are based around the Seven
Elements of Resilience which are measured in the
RQi™.

• The RQi™ is a new
psychometric that provides a
detailed measure of resilience
for individuals, teams and
organisations
• Scores based on validated
questionnaires from leading
psychologists around the
world plus our own scales

and behaviours that are
proven to protect against
stress and burnout

across Seven Elements
of Resilience, 27
Sub-Scales and two

As part of the team resilience programme we offer
physiological stress monitoring which provides a
highly objective measure of stressors in the
workplace based on:
• 72 hour Heart Rate Monitoring – We map real-life stress
responses and recovery patterns using a small digital heart
monitor (the Firstbeat Bodyguard system) linked to an
online diary. The recording shows how your body reacts to
stressful events and how well you recover.
• Cortisol profile – This tells us about the long-term effects of
demands on your hormonal system. The profile requires four
saliva samples in the course of a day.
© Thrive Training Ltd
A real life example a 24hr stress profile - measured using the
Bodyguard system – shows good management of stress
during the day and good recovery at night.
*In collaboration with the University of Westminster.
