Stress-management and Resilience

The topics of "stress" and "resilience" are “evergreens” in coaching, psychotherapy, and organizational development and very often subliminally “sneak” into other issues. The basic question is: What is stress? I work with different stress concepts and most often with the stress concept of Richard Lazarus for the work with individuals and groups.

The development of personal resilience, or mental coping skills, is not only innate and imparted in childhood, but can be learned and trained. In addition to various competencies, such as conflict competencies, in my experience, competencies to recover are particularly important.

Among these are: First and foremost restful sleep :-) (well, who feels addressed here?), followed by breaks (well, do you take enough?:-) and of course relaxation techniques in combination with movement, and then of course time management, decision making techniques for prioritising , which in turn need a focus and that in turn has a lot to do with the meaning of life, or the mission of an organizational unit ..... and this listing shows that developing resilience actually needs a multi-modal approach, thinking nonlinear and systemic.

For an organisation to become resilient, further factors come into play. Today, engaging with artificial intelligence and organisational development is highly relevant. As a Manager for AI Transformation and AI Officer, I support leaders in taking their people along fairly and transparently through the implementation of AI strategies. My many years of experience preparing teams for offshore collaboration also benefit these change processes.
