Matt Zinman will be the first to admit that he broke a few L&D rules last night, but we don't think he's going to ruminate over it. He had set a definite goal — to provide a group of L&D professionals beset on all sides by change and competing priorities with a framework for developing resilience — and he was determined to meet that goal.

Throughout the event Matt returned to his basic outline for resilience:

• Keep things in perspective

• Be present

• Stay purposeful

As always, there's a great detail of practice and reasoning that goes into a three-step process, which is why Matt acknowledged he was including what amounted to a three-hour workshop into a one-hour webinar.  

Not that it mattered much to a group of L&D professionals used to cramming three months of work into a one-month workflow or increasing amounts of "need to know" information into shorter and shorter periods of time. We had been given the highlights and were connected to a veritable learning ecosystem to support us in our pursuit of happierness. 

• A link to the webinar recording.

• A book of Z-isms (who among us does not love a book?).

• A collection of post-webinar job aids, worksheets, and references to refer to after our session.

Matt ended the presentation with a challenge for self-reflection, and we pose it to those of you who attended the event last night.  We’d love to see some of your thoughts in the comments below.
