SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn– Building Resilience for Project Managers
DESCRIPTION:As a Project Manager\, we need to be able to juggle many priori
 ties and effectively respond to stress. These priorities and stress come f
 rom all aspects of our lives: family\, friends\, personal and professional
 . To handle them all\, we need to be Resilient!&nbsp\;
 Resilience is a p
 ersonal quality which draws on the wisdom found in religion and philosophy
 \, as well as behavioral science. A presentation by Dr. Ian MacVicar will 
 explain the roles of the brain in processing information\, dealing with st
 ress\; and the concept of neuroplasticity\, i.e. the ability of the brain 
 to repair itself.
 The symptoms of burnout and Post-Traumatic Stress Diso
 rder (PTSD) will be described\, as well as a history of their treatment\, 
 with a view to identifying “who is vulnerable?” and what can be done t
 o mitigate the negative effects of stress on individuals and within organi
 zations. The presentation will be grounded with a personal description of 
 Dr. MacVicar’s acquaintance with resilience\, followed by several case s
 tudies from the rich literature found in war\, politics\, and business. Hi
 s presentation concludes with practical resilience building strategies tha
 t we can hopefully learn from and put into practice as project managers.
