Learning from Hardship: How Do People and Teams Grow Through Adversity?

In times of ongoing disruption and uncertainty, resilience is both a personal and a collective capability.
Research shows that resilience is not a trait we are simply born with. It is something we develop over time.

Studies on post-traumatic growth suggest that many people experience meaningful development following adversity — even while distress remains present. Growth does not replace difficulty; it often unfolds alongside it.

This interactive session explores resilience as a set of learnable capabilities. Participants reflect on real challenges they face and learn practical tools, together with current research-based models of resilience for individuals and teams.
