Building Resilience | Strengthening Your Capacity to Thrive
Join us for an engaging Lunch & Learn session designed to help you build resilience and navigate the demands of both work and life with greater ease and intention. In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing environment, resilience is more than just “bouncing back” - it’s about developing the skills and mindset to adapt, grow, and thrive.

In this interactive workshop, Theresa Kim from University of Wisconsin - Madison’s Office of Human Resources will guide participants through research-backed strategies that strengthen the core components of resilience. Drawing from her work in leadership development, Theresa will explore how resilience is built through specific, learnable variables - and how intentionally developing these areas can lead to lasting personal and professional growth.

Participants will: 

• Gain a deeper understanding of what resilience is and why it matters
• Learn about the key variables that contribute to resilience - and how to strengthen them
• Explore practical techniques to cultivate mindfulness in everyday life
• Discover strategies to create and maintain a healthier, more sustainable work-life balance
• Leave with actionable tools that can be applied immediately in both personal and professional settings

Theresa brings a wealth of experience as a program manager for Learning and Talent Development, where she leads the Fully Prepared to Lead program. Grounded in the UW Leadership framework, her approach emphasizes that leadership is an action - not a position - and integrates skill-building, meaningful connection, and coaching to empower individuals across all levels.

Whether you’re looking to better manage stress, enhance your well-being, or grow as a leader, this session will provide valuable insights and practical tools to support your journey.
