Bold New Directions Training Helps Novo Nordisk Build Corporate Resilience

July 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Corporate resilience is a catch phrase that bears repeating in these tough economic times.  Resilience, or the ability to "bounce back" is a powerful strategy for companies and business professionals in the current economy.  "We are seeing many savvy companies invest training dollars in programs to help their teams build strength power, teamwork and stamina to ride out the storm" says Suzanne Guthrie, Director of Transformational Learning at Bold New Directions.  To learn more about Bold New Directions training programs visit:  http://www.boldnewdirections.com/home/section/3/training

"Resilience At Work" is one of several training programs offered by Bold New Directions to help companies grow their corporate resilience.  The program, held throughout US, Canada and abroad, provides instruction, exercises and experiential activities for individuals, teams and organizations.    "Companies that believe in the power of their people are the first to offer skill building training; it is a huge boost for employee morale, productivity and ultimately profitability" states Jim Hornickel, Director of Training & Development at Bold New Directions.  "Resilience comes down to how well you cope with change, how well you build your resources, and how well you master your relationships - both professionally and personally" adds Mr. Hornickel.  Novo Nordisk, based in New Jersey,  recently provided a resilience-building workshop to a team of staff working together on a project. By working with Bold New Directions to facilitate the learning experience, the client was able to ensure that the training was customized to their needs.  

One key element of building professional resilience involves clarifying beliefs and assumptions about how a situation is viewed; is it a challenge or an opportunity, a problem or a solution?  In a large company it is imperative to help professionals develop skills to challenge existing beliefs that can get in the way of desired corporate results.  
Alan Heaton, Ph.D., Senior Manager of Decision Support recently participated in the resilience training at Novo Norkisk.  When asked about the value of the teambuilding training he commented: "I found it valuable to reinforce the idea that we are more in control of how we perceive a given situation than we may typically believe".  To learn about Training & Keynotes to boost corporate resilience visit: http://www.boldnewdirections.com/home/section/12/workplac...
