Resilience Without Burnout: A Virtual Workshop

Support your team to thrive under pressure with this practical and engaging virtual resilience workshop. Created by The WorkWell Doctors for Avva Experience, this session combines evidence-based psychology with actionable strategies to help individuals and teams build resilience without sacrificing wellbeing.

The WorkWell Doctors are award-winning medical professionals specializing in workplace wellbeing, performance, and behavior change, led by Dr Nirja Joshi and Dr Alex Lai. They bring extensive experience delivering science-backed training to global organizations.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, resilience is often misunderstood as simply pushing through challenges. This corporate wellness workshop reframes resilience as the ability to adapt, recover, and grow while protecting energy, boundaries, and long-term wellbeing.

Drawing on research including the Job Demands–Resources model, self-compassion theory, and post-traumatic growth psychology, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how stress and burnout develop—and how to respond effectively.

Participants will explore:

• 💪 Understanding Burnout – Learn the difference between stress and burnout and recognise early warning sign
• ⚖️ Energy & Demands – Use the Job Demands–Resources model to identify what drains and sustains energy
• 🧠 Stress & the Body – Understand how chronic stress impacts the nervous system
• 🎯 The Circle of Control – Focus energy on what can be influenced and managed
• 💬 Self-Compassion Tools – Build resilience through supportive and realistic thinking patterns
• 📈 Resilience Planning – Create a personal resilience commitment with practical next steps

The 60-minute workshop includes interactive exercises, guided reflection, breakout discussions, and personalized resilience planning. The 30-minute session provides a focused introduction to core principles with practical tools for immediate application.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to manage pressure, prevent burnout, and build resilience in a sustainable way.
