Resilience Muscles (30 minutes) The group learns techniques to help them develop more resilience, allowing them to handle stress better and be more positive in any situation.

Sage Leadership (45-60 minutes) This series of exercises expands leaders’ ability to respond to any with more positivity, focus, and long-term solutions. They apply these steps immediately to a current situation. Those skills are:

• Empathy: the ability to see and care about ourselves and others regardless beyond the challenge.
• Exploration: the open-minded discovery of contributing factors without becoming critical or defensive.
• Innovation: the creative process of discovering many positive ways to deal with a situation, allowing for a greater sense of positivity.
• Navigation: making healthy, long-term decisions on how to move forward, knowing that we are meeting our goals, accomplishing our mission, doing things the right way, and taking care of others.
• Activation: implement steps that ensure good outcomes. Anticipation: planning positive responses to the inevitable challenges that will arise along the way.
