HeartMath Skills for Personal Effectiveness:
Personal Resilience Mentoring is provided by trained mentors certified by the Institute of HeartMath. These mentors are skilled at understanding the needs of participants and helping them quickly learn and apply practical techniques so they can take charge of their work and personal lives. The Personal Resilience Mentoring Program can be especially valuable for leaders and staff in organizations facing change and ongoing complexity. A series of four personal resilience-mentoring sessions, provided via telephone or online via Skype, teach individuals several core skills that build resilience and boost performance.
As a result, participants learn to better handle stress reactions and develop more intelligent approaches to self-regulation and renewal of stamina and energy. By increasing their energy reserves, individuals are better able to bounce back from stressful events and build a cushion that prepares and protects them from the adverse effects of many of life’s typical stressors.
