Building Resilience: Strategies for Peak Performance
Master Positive Thinking, Self-Care, and Reflection Techniques to Overcome Challenges and Thrive

Course Description
Struggling to cope when the pressure is on? Everyone encounters adversity at some point, whether it’s personal, professional, or a mix of both. Many want to perform well in the face of a challenge, but a lot of us withdraw in times of stress. The key to coping well and bouncing back from difficult situations is to build your “resiliency threshold”. In this course, doctor and theatre-maker Asher Jon Tan teaches you how to build resilience and enhance your performance before, during, and after challenging events.
Asher shares techniques from sports psychology that help professional athletes boost their resilience and shows you how to apply these methods to your own life, whether you’re dealing with everyday obstacles or career setbacks. Learn five training techniques to prepare for tough situations and five strategies for reflecting on them afterward. Discover your current resilience level, set your goals, and learn strategies to bridge the gap.
Asher also covers daily practices to create a positive internal dialogue, foster a supportive external environment, and use resources like music, simulations, rituals, and artifacts to create an optimal performance atmosphere. If you are looking for ways to enhance your resilience when it matters most, join Asher in this course and gain a valuable skill to offer employers.
