Being resilient is a set of learnable skills. It’s not something that we either have or do not have as human beings. A major part of what helps us to be more resilient are some of our best qualities already within us - particularly our strengths of gratitude, kindness, and hope.

As the business needs of our work environment change, it’s important to routinely assess and develop both the soft skills and the business and system skills to meet evolving department needs.

Please join the Yale African American Affinity Group and Best Practices for a virtual session that will take a deeper dive into the Clerical & Technical Training and Development website and career planning self-assessment tools, learning resources, and forms for creating your learning and development plan.
