Resilience In the Face of ChallengeDirigo Consulting Group provides leading edge coaching that helps people to develop their “resilience.” Participants learn to: - Understand how their thoughts drive our feelings and our actions
- Recognize that their thoughts are often not accurate, especially in the midst of adversity
- Realize how inaccurate thinking can derail their efforts
- Utilize a concrete set of skills to think more accurately
- Apply these skills to any work or life situation to become more resilient, productive and successful
Dirigo Consulting Group’s coaching program is scientifically grounded in the work of Dr. Martin E.P. Seligman, a University of Pennsylvania professor of psychology, past president of the American Psychological Association, and author of “Authentic Happiness” and the best-selling “Learned Optimism.”
Dr. Seligman's research into how increasing resilience can maximize productivity and performance, and prevent depression, has been validated by hundreds of studies worldwide. And now, Dirigo Consulting Group utilizes this breakthrough science to enable our clients to create the results that they want in their professional and personal lives.
Dr. Andrew Shatte and Dr. Karen Reivich, two Ph.D. psychologists who received their training at the University of Pennsylvania under the mentorship of Dr. Seligman, have conducted extensive research into the effects of cognitive style on resilience, motivation and performance. Based upon their findings, and presented in their book “The Resilience Factor,” Shatte and Reivich have developed a model of resilience that identifies seven critical factors - or inner strengths - that comprise resilience. They are: - Emotion Regulation
- Impulse Control
- Causal Analysis
- Self-Efficacy
- Realistic Optimism
- Empathy
- Reaching Out
Derived from this model, the Resilience Factor Inventory (RFI), is the only research-based assessment tool empirically validated to accurately measure the seven resilience factors. The RFI is a 60-item inventory that is available both as a self-rated, and as a 360-degree multi-rater instrument. The multi-rater RFI was co-developed by Adaptiv Learning Systems and The Hay Group, and is utilized by Dirigo Consulting Group, an accredited RFI coach.
