Fourth Webinar:
Developing a Resilient Mindset for Healthcare Team Members
Speaker: Francis Battisti, PhD., Principal, Battisti Management Affiliates
In this time of global uncertainty, healthcare professionals are being confronted with unparalleled challenges (e.g., remaining positive in the face of grave uncertainty, additional regulations, the belief that individual efforts do impact results, reacting to the financial uncertainty of an ongoing healthcare crisis), all the while remaining focused on the goal of maintaining quality care. The results of this uncertainty can inhibit creativity, reinforce rigid thinking, exacerbate ongoing anxiety and other mental health concerns, question one’s career future and promote difficulty juggling the balance between work and family. In order to meet the growing demands of their positions, healthcare providers need to develop strategies for professional/personal life enhancement in order to reach a resilient mindset. This program is organized around the principle that resiliency is a skill set that can be developed and enhanced. Principles and practices of Positive Psychology are the framework for this action-oriented program.
Focused on growing professional and personal performance, this program will introduce participants to strategies that will assist with developing a resilient mindset and lifestyle for increased satisfaction and productivity. Ingredients of a resilient lifestyle will be explored and outlined.
You will be able to:
- Develop a resilient mindset and lifestyle for increased satisfaction and productivity.
- Assess an individual team member’s readiness for change.
