Hello Rosie you've just come back from the positive psychology World Conference
where you presented on resilience and well-being what was your key message
there?
Rosie Miller: it's amazing to see how some simple but very easy to adopt techniques
can really help you change your performance under pressure
lift your performance and help you match challenge you're facing but all these
techniques just for people with problems well that's an easy perception to me
because 40% of the lost time days in the UK are due to stress and stress-related
illness and you can use these techniques in that situation but there is a much
bigger opportunity in there for all of us and that is that if we use these
techniques whatever our current state is we lift our performance it allows us to
be our best and choose how we tackle and respond to challenges we face and these
techniques are now being taught to people like paramedics and firemen and
policemen health care workers anybody who faced these regular daily high
pressure situations they also talked to athletes who of course have to perform
in the moment under pressure very important for them and they're learning
these techniques as well okay so what's it development well we know from the
research that tossed-off comes in armed in our lives and we have a certain
amount of resources to balance that tough stuff now as we get into more and
more pressurized environments before tough stuff on the back side of the
balance we need to put more resources in and that's what these techniques do they
give us more resources to have what are the challenging things we're facing and
that's why we're teaching them to people who are doing the you are dealing quite
tough challenges but we want to continually perform and perform over
again what do you mean by sources I mean things like better problem-solving or
creativity or innovation more connection with people but to listen
more energy and just generally having your battery recharged to get up and
take on the challenge rather than feel overwhelmed so what does it mean for
people it means they can was all sorts of benefits I think let me give you two
examples one is a leader who had a team went through the resilience course and
she found that they were communicating better talking to each other listening
and just interacting more clearly and more carefully with each other
which of course improved team performance and at an individual level
one individual told me something which lots of people say they'd happens to
them but he just captured it really well he said you know I have repeat happier
and more productive I'm feeling better than I felt in about a decade and lots
of people around me have commented on it I would you speak and we feel good too
so in a nutshell it helps people live their performance connect with other
people and generally do that in a very positive and uplifting way for
themselves great so what's your final takeaway from that conference it was
great being with all those leading thinkers in the area talking about how
these techniques are used with different people they always give great results
and we started talking about how in major corporates particularly innovative
leading thinkers there was increasing use of these techniques to help their
people deal with what is a very pressurised business environment right
now to live their performance and stay healthy and well while they're doing it
which are really really great to see and what we want to do more often change me
