What happens after a resilience workshop?

A workshop gives you time to think, try different words and learn from other managers. The next challenge is remembering to use those skills when the working week becomes busy again.

You’ll finish our workshop with My Next Two Weeks: a short exercise that turns what you’ve learned into actions you can try and review.

Four prompts for an action plan

1. Notice: which change in a team member’s usual behaviour will you pay closer attention to?
2. Reset: which grounding technique felt useful enough to try again?
3. Build trust: which management habit will you change in a specific situation?
4. Converse: which conversation will you prepare and when will you have it?

The plan is personal. It shouldn’t become a place to circulate sensitive information about colleagues. Use enough detail to remind yourself of the action while respecting other people’s privacy.

Make the action small enough to do

“Improve team communication” is an ambition. “Ask about competing priorities in Thursday’s one-to-one” is an action. The second gives you a moment, a behaviour and something you can reflect on afterwards.

The same applies to psychological safety. Choose one of the four habits from the session and describe how you’ll use it: respond calmly, ask before assuming, model openness or follow through.

Review the attempt, not a perfect performance

A conversation may still feel awkward. Ask yourself what helped, what you learned and what you would try differently. Practising the structure doesn’t mean every discussion will be comfortable.

You can also choose a two-week reminder to revisit your plan. We’ll agree how it works, including how your personal reflections stay private, when we prepare your workshop.

Make space at business level

You need time for check-ins and a clear way to raise concerns beyond your authority. You can build your skills, but your business still needs to support the actions you agree.
