People As a Resilient Business Asset

Hosted by Marilise de Villiers

Virtual masterclass, 2-3:30pm 29th November 2023

 

Topic: People as a resilient business asset.

 

In our ever-evolving world where cyber-attacks and fraudulent activity is becoming the norm, business resilience is key. Guest speaker Marilise de Villers, author of “ROAR! How to Tame the Bully Inside and Out” provided guidance on how to build resilience within yourself and within your team but in a kind and considerate manner.

 

Throughout the 90-minute masterclass, Marilise guided us through her career background involving almost 20 years in corporate position, experiencing workplace bullying which drove her to burnout. Burnout which led to the creation of her inspiring ROAR mission to transform the workplace into a kind, courageous and supportive environment for employees to thrive.

 

The masterclass discussed how to manage knock backs, tough times, overcoming disappointments or set backs which are part of everyone’s journey whilst becoming more resilient from the experience. Marilise expressed the importance of how you are a priority, how you can lead your life with purpose, power and provided guidelines on how to spot signs of stress and burnout in yourself and others, how to respond to stress factors instead of reacting and how by assessing your current level of resilience, you can inspire and provide examples of a resilient person to your colleagues.

 

Marilise ended with “Become the resilient you. Choose a life of resilience” which struck a chord with many of the attendees.

 

Thank you Marilise for your time to give our members guidance on how to ‘put on their own oxygen mask’ to learn how to be their most resilient selves.
