In a time of rapid change, economic turbulence, and continued uncertainty, resilience becomes a more pronounced commodity. The ability to absorb adversity, work through it successfully, and grow from the experience, is essential to our function, but is not often something we are taught.

Dr Sven Hansen has spent much of his career helping people develop the skills required for resilience, but when he founded Resilience Institute in 2002, few people understood its value beyond the sporting arena.

“It’s now widely understood that resilience can help to improve the wellbeing of individuals and the performance of organisations,” says Hansen, who worked with ANZIIF to review the content of its new ‘Becoming Resilient’ professional development activity.

“When people are resilient, they have more energy, they feel less depressed and anxious, and they tend to function at their best,” he says. “This can only be a good

thing for individuals and for organisations.”
