Resilient behaviours and characteristics can be game-changing to culture, efficiency and the pace of progress in dynamic industries like ours.  And for us as individuals, developing these characteristics can be one of the most valuable things we do for our future.

This event is in support of one of Life Sciences Scotland’s women, Alix Mackay, who is part of The Forces Wives Challenge team that is set to become The World’s First Female Team to retrace one of the most daring special forces missions in history – The Heroes of Telemark.  Forces Wives Challenge (FWC) believes passionately in the power of building resilience through physical challenge and translating this into high performing teams.  And they are here to share their insight and experience with you….

You’ll get insight on:

How the sector is changing and what this means for women in life sciences
What Resilience actually looks like in reality
The power of resilient characteristics in our careers 
How to proactively develop resilient characteristics 
The truth about self-development: how it feels, why we are programmed to reject it and how to overcome the resistance
