ReXilience® Talk: Self-Awareness@Work
Summary	Awareness of self or the conscious knowledge of one's character, actions, thinking and feelings can help to achieve self-improvement and self-acceptance. However, the truth is that many individuals go through their daily lives with little awareness of what they are doing or why they are doing it. This is not necessarily a bad thing as life may seem much easier not thinking about these little things. The challenge arises when people stop noticing some of the more significant aspects of themselves, such as how they react to or deal with problems. The mind is good at forming blueprints of emotional responses of reacting in unfulfilling ways, which may not allow individuals to be the best version of themselves. Self-awareness helps individuals to be conscious of this so that they are empowered to manage their behaviours, thinking patterns and emotional responses. This talk enables participants to: Understand what is self-awareness Differentiate between the two types of self-awareness Recognise the five habits of highly self-aware people Define ways to improve self-awareness
Recommended for	Individuals who are keen to build their knowledge and skills to enhance self-awareness.
Duration	1 hour

ReXilience® Talk: Compassion@Work
Summary	It is unavoidable that individuals get affected physically and emotionally in their personal lives and at work. All individuals need and are worthy of help, and it is a natural instinct to seek help when one is hurt. Healing begins with compassion, a process of taking action to alleviate suffering. Often, time pressures, overwhelming workloads and performance demands, coupled with the stigma of verbalising emotions, distract individuals from noticing their suffering at work. As individuals and collectively as an organisation, having compassion and working towards alleviating suffering can bring greater joy to the workplace. Extraordinary things can happen when care and compassion are shown in the workplace. This talk enables participants to: Recognise compassion at work and why it matters Differentiate between apathy, compassion fatigue and burnout at work Gain awareness about the circle of compassion Awaken compassion in their work lives Integrate strategies to enhance self-compassion in their daily lives

ReXilience® Talk: Hurting the Hands That heal
Summary	Medical institutions are known to be places of healing and recovery. However, perspectives and expectations have shifted due to the rapid progression of science and medical treatments in recent years. This largely contributed to more expectations and demands on healthcare professionals. The World Medical Association has recently defined violence against healthcare workers as “an international emergency that undermines the very foundations of health systems and impacts critically on a patient’s health.” Encountering violent individuals has legal implications and can have lasting emotional, psychological and implications on healthcare workers. With healthcare workers, institution administrations, leaders and government working on this intentionally, this issue that detrimentally affects the healthcare system can be managed and improved. This talk enables participants to: Uncover the underlying factors for abusive behaviours in healthcare Understand the psyche of the abused Protect oneself using the D.E.L.U.D.E. coping method: Don’t take it personally Engage with the patient Listen to the patient Understand the problem and solution Deal with it Escalate the concern
Recommended for	Healthcare workers who are interested to understand the factors underlying abusive behaviours and learn strategies on how to manage them.
Duration	1 hour
