Description
For designers who take pride in bringing meaningful experiences to their clients and pull out all the stops to fulfill their vision, the pandemic created frequent issues with materials, supply chains, product availability, staffing, and other deliverables. These challenges permeate our professional lives but do not have to overwhelm us. To thrive in the midst of change and adapt to new modes within the industry, professionals must increase flexibility and their skills in resilience. Cultivating resilient behavior helps buffer against adversity so that we can continue to be our best selves in our personal and professional lives.
What you will learn
- Describe the characteristics of resilience as it relates to all aspects of life.
- Identify the role of tools such as breathing, mindfulness, journaling, and mindfulness-based movement (Pilates) as resources for building resilience.
- Implement resilience-based practices to integrate in daily interactions with clients, vendors, and colleagues, as well as for personal growth.
- Review and consult public resources to help further cultivate resiliency skills.
Format
- Each weekly module includes instructional videos about 15 minutes in length along with about 15 minutes of readings, podcasts, or videos to provide background information, and journaling or other activity. Have a notebook handy to use as a journal when prompted. You will progress through the content in sequential order.
- At the completion of each week’s lesson, you will upload your completed activity as an assignment. You must complete each week’s assignment to receive continuing education credits (CEUs).
- We recommend that you complete one module each week for a total of six weeks in chronological sequence.
Modules
- WEEK 1: Mindfulness to Reduce Stress
- We will describe characteristics of resilience, identify tools for cultivating resilience, implement resilience-based practices, and discover resources for further support. Your primary resilience tool is mindfulness.
- WEEK 2: How to Cope with Toxic Personalities | Resilience Skill: Forgiveness
- At some point in your design career, you’ve probably had a client who rubs you the wrong way. Maybe they seem to enjoy being difficult, or they’re self-absorbed, rude, indecisive, or all of the above. The bottom line is that working with this client increases your stress. You don’t want to engage in the project, but you have to get it done. How can you approach this client and project with resilience? We’ll explore strategies to manage the situation to your benefit so you can succeed.
- WEEK 3: Building Self-Confidence | Resilience Skill: Facing Fears
- In this week’s session we focus on building self-confidence and the benefit of facing your fears to achieve personal growth. We’ll discuss the value of committing to self-discovery to develop your authentic professional self, and how to reframe weaknesses as opportunities.
- WEEK 4: How to Navigate Unpredictable Events | Resilience Skill: Regulating Emotion
- We must all deal with the unpredictability of “upstream” factors outside of our control, such as supply chain delays, weather events, or sudden staff shortages. Becoming pre-occupied with the constant fear of failure creates anxiety. Build your flexibility and adaptability for when plans go awry so you don’t become frozen in place.
- WEEK 5: Creating Self-Care Practice | Resilience Skill: Establishing Routine and Preparation
- When our workload increases, we tend to sacrifice downtime. Pressing deadlines increase stress and heighten our stress response, creating an energy vacuum. Disruptions are unavoidable but the faster you can reestablish equilibrium, the easier it is to regain emotional control. Routine self-care buffers against the sense of losing control.
- WEEK 6: Utilizing Social Support | Resilience Skill: Building Social Connections to Reduce Isolation
- When we feel overwhelmed, retreating can provide some respite, but feeling isolated can increase anxiety. Finding connection with peers produces feelings of acceptance, helping you to reduce the burden of “going it alone” by providing an outlet for expression and strengthening our resolve. Learn how to overcome a common barrier to making new social connections: not enough time.
Access period: One year from registration date.

Practicing meditation increases our cognitive ability to control our thought patterns, release stressful thinking, and experience deep relaxation. Meditation can be sitting still or done with movement. Forms of meditation are guided imagery, mindful meditation, mantra meditation, and transcendental meditation. Forms of movement meditation are Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and yoga. Meditation combines focused attention, connecting breath and movement, and having an open mind toward the experience, and results in better sleep, being less anxious, and clearer thinking.

Expressive writing is a practice of writing without worrying about how it sounds or whether it makes sense, to externalize thoughts and feelings and prevent you from feeling “bottled up”. When you engage in an expressive writing session, make a mental note of how you feel when you begin and compare with how you feel upon completion. By making it a regular practice you may be able to identify patterns or reoccurring themes that may not be as apparent day to day.

Taking risks teaches us about ourselves, improves our self-efficacy, and stimulates innovation and creativity. Trying activities that are outside your wheelhouse opens new experiences for self-growth. Risk is by nature intimidating, but taking risks leads to discovery and success. Step outside your comfort zone! If you’re very athletic, try an intellectual activity such as chess or word puzzles. If you lean more towards intellectual pursuits, try a physical activity like a fitness class or learning to surf. Embrace the unknown!

When our workload increases, we tend to sacrifice downtime. Pressing deadlines increase stress and heighten our stress response, creating an energy vacuum. Disruptions are unavoidable but the faster you can reestablish equilibrium, the easier it is to regain emotional control. Routine self-care buffers against the sense of losing control. Self-care revolves around physical and mental health, including diet, sleep, exercise, and relaxation. Exercise produces endorphins to boost mood; healthy foods increase energy; sleep restores homeostasis; and relaxation improves your mental health.

Let’s focus on the value of “Me” time and personal self-care goals. Self-care for some people means being solitary, and for others it means being social. We gain different benefits from being alone and from being with others. Personal time provides opportunity for self-reflection, recharging your “battery”, and discovering what brings you joy.
