The power of resilience

Being resilient means to deal well with life and all the challenges it brings us. It means being able to face life challenges in a powerful and empowered way, but also to be proactive and mentally strong in building your own life and achieving your own goals. 

It means to thrive in life – and not merely survive until the next day. In the core of resilience lies our mindset and thinking patterns, our self-awareness, confidence and our relationship with ourselves.

Additionally,  resilience is not only the ability to deal with negative emotions, but the ability to experience the positive emotions. It is influenced by our relationships, habits, and by our previous experiences. 

The science of positive psychology gives us a lot of understanding of how resilience works, as well as many practical and impactful ways to strengthen resilience.

Join us and you will build a versatile toolbox of powerful tools that will enable you to be flexible and creative in the face of new challenges.

What do previous participants say?

“This was my second “long” 12 module course with Mirna at Happiness academy (first one was 12 pillars of Happiness) and I loved it!

Timing was perfect and the practical and engaging setup and delivery was amazing. No matter my energy levels entering each module I left invigorated with new ideas and fresh motivation.

Mirna was super as always, clear, patient and packed with good energy and care. Highly recommend the Resilience course with HA!”

Edita Jurak, Netherlands, Assistant Professor at Groningen University

“Every now and then life presents difficulties, setbacks and challenges of diverse impact. The main difference in our experience is likely how we react to that, how we deal with the corresponding emotions and how fast we are able to get back to our “regular” state. 

Through 12 lessons, the course provided me a framework which dives deep into the various aspects which influence our capacity to be resilient. Through highly interactive sessions (including accountability buddies and a lot of self reflection) I became familiar with a set of tools and how they can be applied in real situations. Most importantly, I was able to increase the awareness of the impact I can have, with the outcome of feeling way more in control resulting in a higher degree of peace of mind.”

Francesco Portoso, Luxembourg, Digital Operations Manager at Amazon Digital Music

“I loved the Resilience course! It’s very engaging and interactive, filled with practical tips on improving yourself and building that resilience that frankly, we all need. Mirna manages to bring together her positive, friendly  attitude with  real work in an easygoing, yet motivating environment. Thanks Mirna!”

Marijana Balabanic, Luxembourg, Recruiter at Amazon Devices

“Mirna’s Resilience course has been an enriching treat. I’ve got lots of practical tips on how to work on myself and deal with the daily pressures. The right thing at the right moment.”

Marijana Sumpor, Croatia, Managing Director

“Mirna’s courses are true inspiration. Her positive energy as a lecturer is simply contagious, in a good way. The courses are full of constructive tools to improve oneself and everyday life. I strongly recommend.” 

Nina Garic Saganic, Croatia, Finance and Business advisor

“Mirna delivers her sessions with her unique tone: energetic personality, true agility in terms of what attendees need on any given day, interesting and entertaining delivery style while showing deep expertise in the areas she covers.

Through this course Mirna took us to a 10-week journey of self-reflection, exploration, learning, and fun. Topics ranged from introducing practical, easy-to-use tools to techniques that one can develop over time.”

Bálint Kléri, Hungary, CTO & Co-founder at Relevant Bits
