Ultimate Resilience Reviews 

As an HR professional for many years, I have often tackled a variety of situations with little to no support. Having spent 6 months with Ultimate Resilience I came to realise how the mental burden of carrying such a wide range of People tasks with emotional toll had been having on me. HR is a lonely world, with HR professionals working in isolation with limited trusted safe space to share their experiences. Unlimited Resilience is just that, a safe trusting space, allowing People professionals an avenue to share experiences and spent time understanding their impact, so that both they and their teams will have a better experience.
During our sessions we not only discussed people activities but explored reasons for how and why we dealt with them as we did. This time for self reflection was so insightful, it has allowed me to be a stronger HR leader.

I have worked in various HR roles for over 30 years. Ultimate Resilience is the first organisation I have come across that helps HR professionals build, sustain, recalibrate, and facilitate the mental well-being of the very people (HR) who are expected to hold up organisations in the wake of change, downturns, ethical challenges, and cultural pivots. They helped me when I needed them most and clarified with me what my next steps should be in my role and career. I've had mentors and coaches but nothing quite like the insights I received from them. Seeking their counsel was probably the best thing I could do for my career and my well-being.

I have worked in HR for nearly 10 years now in education where demand is high in this ever changing fast paced environment. I took on a lead role in our department and prior to this had not had any professional coaching but my line manager had.
Pressure has been at an all time high with workload and short of resource but Felicity has been there to give me the tools to cope and encouraged me to think outside of the box. I have feel i am at the start of my coaching journey with more to come and believe my toolkit of strategies will only get fuller!

I work as Head of People for a large Academy Trust. I undertook one to one supervision over an academic year with Felicity. Prior to starting the sessions I was unsure of what to expect but I knew that I needed to have a safe space to talk about the stresses and challenges of my job, as it can be a lonely role in HR. Felicity was interested in me as a whole person and over time she helped me greatly by discussing every aspect of my life that impacted my resilience and wellbeing. I would highly recommend Felicity and the supervision offered to anyone.

I work in HR and when carrying out exit interviews the resilience training is something leavers always bring up. They have such good things to say about the contents of the training and also the fact that the business had put effort into helping employees build their resilience!

Super good content and great facilitators!

I completed the online Resilience course. It was simple to complete in bitesize chunks, and didn't feel overwhelming. There was a lot of information, but presented in a relaxed way that didn't feel overwhelming, or like I had to remember everything. It made me curious about my reactions to things, and I felt comforted at a time when I was in quite a low place.

evidence-based insights, interactive approaches and concrete solutions

A jam-packed eLearning package that supports people struggling to maintain resilience when coping with stress / anxiety in their lives.
I found very beneficial, informative and inspiring - modules include recognising threats, stress and thrive difference, grow confidence and manage reactions. Great videos, narration led plus take away fact sheets and questionnaires to complete.
I would recommend that this should be rolled out to all GP and health communities, to give the public greater understanding, manage and support their mental health, and alternative to the prescribed medicated route and more of social prescribing.

I found this course just when I needed it. Easy to engage with in bite sized pieces so not overwhelming when you're perhaps feeling overwhelmed. Evidence based, relatable content and kind support from Felicity. I used many aspects from the course to help me understand key concepts and apply them to become more self aware. I did think most of the way through the course 'This is me!' but the course enabled me to take effective action and become more self aware and resilient. I would certainly recommend this course for those starting out in the workplace to seasoned pros and anyone inbetween who needs to understand the normal stresses of the workplace and life and how they can best manage these uncomfortable feelings with strength and resilience & without feeling overwhelmed.
Thank you.

Over the years I have attended a number of courses run by Ultimate Resilience which have enabled me to help others in my team and the wider working environment. I found the information I received was very pertinent and useful and the courses invaluable. Last year our team went through a very turbulent period of change with many staff losses and I was able to make good use of the tools and techniques that I learnt in the training both to support the team and also to help myself as I endured a stressful period of job transition.

We had a very good experience working with Jo and Felicity, who were very engaged with our specific needs in our company and worked hard to deliver successful training around wellbeing and resilience.

Excellent training course full of research based insight and practical tools and techniques to try out. Felt so much calmer and more positive after the end of both sessions and more equipped to handle a busy work and home life. Felicity and Alice were well informed and friendly trainers who made the course very enjoyable to attend and take part in. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to build their resilience!

A wonderful training session - the loveliest people! Felicity and Alice created a really warm environment where everyone felt comfortable to be themselves and open up to the group. I went home feeling energized and well informed. Really recommend to all!

I had a series of 4 coaching sessions with Jo, and cannot recommend her and Ultimate Resilience highly enough. At session number one, I felt incredibly low on confidence, and saw little value in my contributions or abilities. Jo helped create a safe space for me to talk, helped me to see that its ok to be down from time to time, and the accuracy and insight of her notes from session one gave me the courage to invest in the subsequent sessions. The “homework” exercises were really useful and having identified how regularly I made “thinking errors”, and what my triggers were, I’m now able to recognise them when they arrive and employ strategies which help them dissipate far more quickly. Thank you Jo.

I am part of a charitable organisation whose employees have provided excellent feedback on the Ultimate Resilience training. Throughout, Joanna and Felicity ensure to maintain stimulation by providing consistently relevant material. Separate to the online training, Joanna and Felicity always provide a prompt response to enquiries. As a result, my organisation has been delighted to purchase further access codes so that new starters can reap the rewards of the Ultimate Resilience training.

Jo and Felicity provide resilience support for my team of employee relations practitioners. We all work remotely and our work is commonly high stakes and potentially stressful. That's why Ultimate Resilience are vital for keeping us all happy and healthy. I would not be without them!

Felicity and Jo gave us a course on resilience and coaching. The whole team loved it and came away feeling strengthened and energised - two days very well spent.

Dr Jo delivered a lecture on stress management and resilience to my engineering class. Her advice was invaluable, and I felt much better equipped to cope with stress as a result.
In particular, I enjoyed the mindfulness aspect of the presentation. The exercises she led at the end were incredibly helpful in finding focus and clarity, and I have already started incorporating them into my daily routine.
I highly recommend a stress management/resilience session delivered by Dr Jo to all students, and especially for those that study demanding courses.

informative, engaging and knowledgeable sessions and tutors
