About

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

By taking the Build personal resilience course offered by Coursera in partnership with Macquarie University, you’ll explore personal resilience – your capacity to withstand and cope with stress – and strategies for self-management, motivation and organisation. You’ll also learn how resilience is impacted by health and social relationships.

Key facts

  • Globalisation and advances in information and communication technology have resulted in a 24/7 work environment characterised by rapid change, a greater sense of competition, and an explosion in access to communication and information. 
  • These pressures compound stress related to workload and information processing – this not only reduces performance but can lead to a reduced sense of meaning and purpose as well as physical and mental health issues. 
  • Understanding stress and how to boost your resilience to it are essential skills for contemporary leaders and play a vital role in managing the demands you face at work.

What you'll learn

  • Critically evaluate the nature of work stress and approaches to manage stress
  • Reflect on personal sources of stress in the extent of personal resilience
