The world of work is changing fast. Nearly half of today’s skills won’t be relevant by 2030, new roles are emerging as others disappear, and entire industries are being reshaped. No wonder the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 highlights resilience as one of the most critical durable skills for the future of work.

For the Jewish community, resilience carries even greater weight. We’re facing not only global workplace pressures, but also personal and communal stress related to the situation in the Middle East and rising antisemitism.

In this session, we treat resilience not as a fixed trait but as a mental fitness you can train - building the mental muscles that help you respond to challenge, uncertainty, and change with clarity, calm, and purposeful action. Resilience isn’t about being tough; it’s about being flexible.

This interactive workshop is for professionals who want to take the reins and strengthen resilience as both a personal resource and a professional capability. With practical tools for building resilience, you’ll gain the mental, emotional, and behavioural flexibility to adapt, recover, and thrive in any work environment. In short: you’ll be able to bend rather than break.

This is a full-day in-person workshop

Cost: £95 for JLC member organisations, £110 for non JLC member organisations

The course will be held in a NW London venue, which will be disclosed nearer to the event

• Aims

  • To understand what resilience is and isn’t, and the different strategies people use when acting resiliently

  • To make the abstract concept of resilience tangible so developing it is immediately possible, using the resilience triangle model

  • For participants to explore their current levels of resilience

  • To recognise the ‘inner-saboteurs’ that get in the way of resilient thinking and behaviour and learn to use the ‘self-command muscle’  to intercept them

  • To perceive resilience as a daily practice – and plant the seed for a mental fitness regime

  • To learn techniques to turn everyday moments of challenge into opportunities for growth

  • Practice resilient responses in ‘live’ situations

• Outcomes

  By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Use a simple framework to question their automatic ways of thinking, behaving and responding

  • Identify, during moments of adversity, personal patterns that are detrimental to their resilience

  • Create conditions that allow them to respond intentionally and positively to adversity

  • Support team members and employees in responding to change more positively

  • Design a personalized mental fitness practice that fits into their life seamlessly

  • Have a greater sense of personal control

• Facilitator
