Investing in people.
Empowering Leaders.
Nurturing Potential.
The S.P.A.C.E Professional Resilience Model is based on the belief that human patterns of behaviour are a window into our current state of wellbeing and inner resilience.
​
Exclusive to Academy HR, is a training model which delves into the core areas for creating human centric, emotionally intelligent, empowered leaders of people. Alongside operational skills and technical expertise, truly effective leaders truly understand how to connect with others, become cultivators of culture for their business and inspire high performance through their people.
​​
How does the S.P.A.C.E Professional Resilience Model work?
You can be the most technically skilled person in your field, the go-to expert for your industry, but if you don't know how to connect with your team as people and understand the context behind the behaviours or thought patterns on a human level, you're missing a golden opportunity to truly become an inspiring (and influential) people leader. The modern working world demands more from business leaders than for them to be technical experts, employees are seeking empathy, understanding and authenticity. ​This unique professional development model comprises of two key learning journeys:​​
​
1. The Self Continuum of Professional Resilience - Understanding the four key contributing factors which impact our professional resilience on an individual level.
​
2. The Leaders of Resilience Framework - Learning how to navigate through each of these areas of the Self Continuum and embark on a thought provoking journey of self, and/or group, development for people leaders.​
The Self Continuum of Professional Resilience
The S.P.A.C.E Professional Resilience Model is focused on a continuum concept where our professional resilience is constantly impacted by four key contributing factors - social connection, personal ethos, career fulfillment and environmental safety. When all factors are evenly balanced we may feel in control, content and thriving in our professional environment.
When the scales tip one way or the other, we may see either emotional or primal responses, a natural human reaction, which directly impacts how we perceive and respond to interactions with others or to situations we are facing in that moment.
S.P.A.C.E Leaders of Resilience Framework
The way we think, feel and act often reflects our internal capacity to cope with stress, adapt to change and overcome challenge. When our resilience is high, our behaviours and thought patterns tend to be more proactive, balanced and socially engaged. When we feel well balanced in our overall wellbeing, we are more likely to perform to our best abilities, maintain healthier relationships and pursue goals with optimism.​
However, when our inner resilience is unbalanced, our behavioural and thought patterns can shift toward withdrawal, irritability or avoidance as a means of self preservation. These behaviours and responses to external contributing factors are reflective of our psychological aequilibrium, offering insight into how effectively we are able to regulate our emotions and respond to adversity.
​
This Self Continuum chapter of the model helps us learn how, as an individual, we can understand our own and others' human responses and the context surrounding the behaviours we may observe or experience.
​
​
Leaders who do not have a high level of emotional intelligence or humanistic insights within their leadership toolkit, will struggle to truly connect with their team and are more likely to experience poor workplace culture, heightened staff conflict issues, reduced team engagement and poor performance with their team.
​
​The S.P.A.C.E Leaders of Resilience framework guides leaders through a deeper understanding of how to connect with their people on an authentic level. Having a clearer understanding and appreciation of why their team members may be presenting with certain behaviours or responses will ensure they approach difficult conversations constructively, effectively navigate their team through organisational change, secure a working relationship built on psychological safety and drive high performing teams like they've never experienced before.
Each area of the S.P.A.C.E Leaders of Resilience Framework anchors back to the four key contributing factors of the Self Continuum of Professional Resilience, as follows.
​
Social Connection = Interpersonal Leadership
Leading with strong communication skills, regular team touch points, coaching style leadership, encourages healthy work vs life balance.
​
Personal Ethos = Cultivators of Culture
Promoter of diversity, leads instead of dictates, demonstrates strong and consistent values or principles.
​
Career Fulfilment = Empowerment Architect
High quality performance coaching, delegates with purpose, constructive feedback sessions, succession planner.​
​
Environmental Safety = Psychological Safety
Consistent emotional regulation, high emotional intelligence, leads with honesty, transparency and integrity.
​
The S.P.A.C.E Professional Resilience Model provides a tool to help individuals break the fourth wall of self discovery. It also offers a unique development opportunity to delve into the human traits which make us thrive as professionals and coach leaders how to harness this knowledge to drive high performing teams.
