“GRIT is a positive trait with perseverance and passion that helps us push through Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA). RESILIENCE is the speed by which we recover from it. HARDINESS is the ability to neurologically strengthen our capacity with valence, before, during and after It. Anti-fragility is when we learn to grow stronger and flourish from it.” … Mitch Javidi, Ph.D
Overview: What remains constant in dealing with the COVID-19 virus is the Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) of it. We are all working hard to not only physically safeguard our health but to also strengthen the psychological hardiness of our emotional well-being. It is well-established that our emotional well-being is profoundly connected to our physical health as well. Derived from over 70 years of combined counseling, academic, consulting and Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) training for the military, we are offering this free on-line training to provide you with a macro overview of select emotional and psychological resiliency enhancing tools. These tools manifest courage to activate positive psychology for maximized resilience.
