   • As product life cycles have become shorter and relationships between companies and their customers have become more complex, training for salespeople has become more important than ever before.

Workers need to be resilient to cope and bounce back from challenging situations. Resilience is critical at the workplace as employees can better manage work-related stress and handle challenges with an open mind.

Benefits:

1. Resilience reduces stress.
   • A heavy workload can induce stress, however, by applying stress management techniques such as breathing, meditation, and mindfulness, we can remain calm under pressure without feeling overwhelmed.
2. Resilience improves emotional regulation.
   • At the very core of resilience is how we regulate emotions. We all feel varying degrees of emotional pain, but how we react to adversity makes a big difference. This is called emotional intelligence (EQ). If we can recognize and understand difficult emotions and identify the positive, we are more likely to become resilient.
3. Resilience increases performance.
   • When we are resilient to stress, we can focus better and meet challenges head-on, which is essential for a productive workplace. With a healthy, engaged workforce, morale and productivity tend to increase, leading to higher profits, better talent retention, and a stronger organization overall.
4. Resilience improves learning abilities.
   • Being resilient can also foster our learning and problem-solving skills. We can approach challenges with a more positive mindset as we learn how to manage negative emotions. This mindset enables us to learn from failures and welcome challenges, allowing more opportunities to succeed.
5. Resilience improves teamwork.
   • Resilience is often tested in the “workplace” by strained interpersonal relationships. By understanding typical behaviors linked to a lack of resilience, leaders can encourage employees to examine their thinking patterns and change their interpretation of a situation, thereby improving team dynamics.

Lean is a methodology that can be applied to all disciplines of work to increase business efficiency, agility, and visibility. Lean is about aligning your organisation's skills, talents, resources, processes, and strategy with the needs of your customers. Finding this alignment allows organisations to be lightweight and nimble – allowing them to quickly respond to changes in the market and ensure sustainability.

Benefits:

1. Improved customer interactions.
   • Lean management begins with the customer’s viewpoint in mind. The way they communicate with staff, responsiveness to their concerns, and their experience with the product are some of the leading drivers of cutting wasteful practices.
2. The utilisation of “Push and Pull”.
   • Company expenses can become inflated if inventory is not properly managed. A strategy that can help manage this is having a “pull” over a “push” mentality. This means that later production stages determine what is happening in earlier processes. This can limit overproduction and paying a higher carrying cost. Companies will only order what they need.
3. An improvement culture.
   • When a company understands the importance of lean management and begins to implement the strategies, a new way of thought begins to take over in the company. Workers are more open to improvement and are looking for ways to consistently make the work they do even more impactful.
4. Increased employee morale.
   • Since lean management favours an approach where managers are in regular communication with employees about their work and their process, employees could feel they are empowered to make better decisions. Workers know where they stand and where they can improve to create quality work.
5. Reduction in cost.
   • Lean management is all about maximising profits. While the selling price is impacted by various factors, usually companies can do more to control their costs, and lean practices help to decrease costs so that all savings can be added to profit
