Resilience
In order to be able to think and talk to each other about how we deal with our resilience and how we can take development steps, we have the model of Resilient Professional Progression developed.
In the vocational training of professionals, concepts such as qualifications, professional skills, competencies, personal qualities, core qualities and personality are often used interchangeably. This causes confusion. That is why the Resilient Professional Progression model indicates how the various concepts can be used to support thinking and speaking about yourself and to support professional progression.
​
We distinguish different dimensions of resilience:
Emotional Resilience
​
We see emotional resilience as your ability to deal well with difficulties, setbacks, changes and the tension you experience. If you have your emotional resilience in balance, you are able to handle events that come your way in such a way that you can pick yourself up again, in other words: 'you can bounce back'.
Emotions are part of performing your job because you as a person, matter in your profession. How you deal with your emotions professionally is largely determined by the interplay of emotional resilience and cognitive resilience.
Cognitive Resilience
​
We see cognitive resilience as your ability to strike a good balance between knowing, wanting and arguing.
In modern society, we are solicited and unsolicited bombarded with information. To be able to deal with that information flow properly, it is very important to be able to assess the correctness of knowledge so that you can consciously choose to use that knowledge in your own arguments.
Somatic Resilience
​
We see somatic resilience as your ability to carefully shape communication with the world around you through your senses.
We are of course referring to the five classic sensations of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and feeling that we use consciously and unconsciously, but also to your body awareness that influences how you feel and how you meet another.
Moral Resilience
​
We see moral resilience as your ability to take responsibility for your actions. Moral resilience gives you the opportunity to (explore) your possibilities from a broader perspective, to understand yourself better and to enable you as a professional to build authentic relationships.
where private and work are better balanced.
Moral resilience is further elaborated for the professional in the concept of Moral Authorship, and the associated questionnaire that results in your "moral selfie".
How you can develop your resilience in the different dimensions and how you can use it for your personal and professional progression is discussed in different forms of our offer and further clarified. For the various forms of personal support, the coach uses working methods that are based on the Resilient Professional Progression model.
