Offered as a workshop or a 4-hour certification. There are only two things that can happen to you when you face an obstacle of any kind: fall apart or bounce back. Resilience (sometimes called “emotional fitness” or “mental toughness”) is when you face adversity head-on and grow from the experience.
Led by Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran and Master Resilience and Fitness Trainer, Ken “SGT Ken” Weichert, you will receive powerful positive psychology skills that help you eliminate counter-productive thinking and focus on authentic happiness. Whether it′s due to a job loss, an illness or injury, or the death of a friend or family member, a person with resilience is able to rebound quickly and easily in the face of adversity. A person that lacks resilience will dwell on problems and often find unhealthy methods to deal with a difficult situation. Resilience will help you see past your obstacles and help you to become mentally tough. Through his stories and military training you will learn the steps to becoming a more resilient person and how you too can adapt, overcome and improvise!

“ Motivation; the key thing that guided me. Your class also taught me about fitness and how it can improve not only my body but also the way I think. I also was taught the meaning of resilience. Optimism was a huge concept you got through my head. Strength of character was the main thing I focused on.- Deschun, age 17
