Investment in personal resilience both in the workplace and communities has one of the highest returns on investment: it saves lives, reduces the impact of disasters on property and assets, and assists the return to normality. This session looks at some of the coaching and methods that have been shown to help people be better prepared and ready to make better decisions in a crisis situation.
