In June 2025, we facilitated this program just for HR and Finance ladies. Why?

Mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs. A tidal wave of legal changes. Political and economic unease. Lay-offs. Digital transformation. The pressure to adopt AI without losing the human touch. Rising mental health concerns among employees. Achieving sustainable growth. Balancing cost objectives alongside investments needed to drive growth.

Forget VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous). Today’s reality is BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible).

Technology evolves faster than we can process it. Data overwhelms us. AI breakthroughs emerge weekly, outpacing our capacity to meaningfully adapt. In this new environment, low-grade, always-on anxiety has become the default.

HR and Finance are often the first responders in all of this. Absorbing shock. Managing transitions. Supporting others while barely keeping their own heads above water. These roles demand calm, clarity, and resilience in the midst of chaos.

But here’s the truth: many are exhausted. Under-resourced. Chronically stressed to the point where it feels like business as usual, even on the verge of burnout. And for women in Finance in particular, the picture is even starker: according to the results of the latest IT SalaryMap, they earn on average 23% less than their male counterparts. This gender pay gap in Finance was reported by AIMS SalaryMap Manufacturing, as well.

In November 2025, we open the doors to women from any type of role or job function. Why?

Because you are not alone. If we discovered anything during the workshops with the June cohort of this program, it's that professional women share common struggles, regardless of whether they work in HR, Finance, Engineering, Supply Chain or Software Development. ☺️

We can’t change the world. But we can create the conditions for resilience. A resilient system is better able to withstand external stress and overcome crises. This is crucial both at the personal and organizational level.

You cannot support others if you can’t breathe yourself. You have to put your own oxygen mask on first.

Resilience in Action: Empowered Women in Turbulent Times is a place to pause, reflect, recharge – and rebuild the inner resources needed to not just survive, but to lead with strength, clarity, and compassion (both for self and others) in a world that may never slow down.

We can’t remove the turbulence – but we can help women rise through it.

Take a look at the impact on our June-July 2025 program participants

‘’Sunt absolventă de Psihologie și de 14 ani lucrez în resurse umane, în companii multinaționale. De-a lungul timpului am participat la multe training-uri și workshop-uri cu diverse tematici. De departe, “Resilience in Action: Empowered Women in Turbulent Times”, a fost cel mai pe sufletul meu. 

E prima dată când am participat la un program dedicat doar femeilor și totodată un program care a îmbinat atât de frumos și lin partea de asimilare a unor noi informații, cu o patină psihologică și terapeutică. A fost minunat să mă simt atât de liberă, autentică și deschisă într-un grup de femei care împărtășesc multe aspecte comune, nu doar în plan profesional, cât și personal.

E minunat să îți dorești cu ardoare, ca într-o zi din săptămână, pentru câteva ore, să lași toate problemele de la birou și să intri într-o “călătorie virtuală” în care te simți foarte confortabil și cu multă dorință de cunoaștere și împărtășire. Trebuie să recunosc că la ultima sesiune a programului m-am simțit tristă, exact ca un copil care realizează că “jocul” lui preferat a luat sfârșit.

M-aș bucura tare mult ca pe viitor să mai particip la programe de acest gen, dedicate femeilor, și poate nu doar din aria HR & Finance, ci din mai multe domenii de activitate.”

Raluca Șerban, HR Manager Aptiv

''De la început, pur si simplu mi-am urmat intuiția, care m-a făcut să doresc să particip la acest program. Structura gândită în 6 module și o evaluare anterioară este ideală, iar faptul că la anumite module am avut alt trainer a fost și pentru mine o provocare nouă.

A fost plăcut să aflu care este nivelul meu de reziliență la începutul programului, iar după să descopăr sesiune cu sesiune ce înseamnă Reziliența și că poate fi crescută, iar controlul este la mine.

Sunt recunoscătoare acestui program pentru că m-a ajutat să înțeleg mai bine că majoritatea deciziilor le-am luat până acum analitic și rațional, iar emoțiile le-am descoperit în ultimii 3-4 ani din viața mea și că sunt o parte valoroasă din noi.

Acest program este valoros participanților care se înscriu din nevoia lor de dezvoltare și evoluție personală și care au înțeles că pentru o viață echilibrată nu este altă variantă.

Vă mulțumesc, dragelor: Gabriela, Codruța și Florentina, pentru această oportunitate de creștere, înțelegere și conștientizare!''

Irina Zoican, HR Manager Adient Automotive Romania

''În cadrul acestui curs, dedicat rezilienței și femeilor, am simțit foarte mult puterea conexiunii și m-a ajutat să navighez, cu mai multă încredere, o perioadă dificilă din viața mea. Simt că m-am echipat cu informație și exerciții, să pot face față mai ușor emoțiilor și trăirilor, atât din viața de zi cu zi, cât și din mediul de business. Cursul mi s-a părut foarte util și îl recomand cu încredere!''

Alexandra Boeru, Total Rewards Business Partner EMEA, Trimble Inc.

Resilience consists of the crucial life skills to achieve and maintain wellbeing.

WELLBEING means: confidence, happiness, feeling connected, energy and motivation, sense of achievement, feeling safe and secure, a belief in self-worth.

RESILIENCE = Advancing despite adversity

Resilient people are:

  • 5 times less likely to struggle with depression or anxiety

  • 5 times less likely to feel vulnerable

  • 3 times more friendly

  • 3 times more gregarious and outgoing

  • Twice as assertive

  • 3 times as cheerful

  • 3 times higher in self-discipline

The series of online workshops will address:

  • coping with anxiety about change and the future

  • all resilience domains:

VISION (purpose, congruence, goals) - understanding the brain’s needs, defining personal vision, aligning goals across different areas of life, prioritizing them, reframing hard-to-reach goals

COMPOSURE (internal awareness, emotion regulation, calm and in control) - emotional balance, closing the stress cycle, emotional labeling, calming techniques, the cycle of healthy emotional regulation, redefining emotions

REASONING (problem solving, resourcefulness, anticipate & plan) - identifying unhelpful beliefs about self/others/the world, challenging unhelpful beliefs, visualization as a method for preventing emotional crises, managing perfectionism

HEALTH (nutrition, sleep, exercise) - the benefits of a healthy lifestyle for the brain: sleep, exercise, nutrition – with a focus on consistency

TENACITY (persistence, realistic optimism, bounce back) - realistic optimism, dealing with mistakes and criticism, maintaining boundaries (saying NO), asking for resources, option B

COLLABORATION (support networks, social context, meaningful connection) – healthy relationships, perception of support, identifying role models and mentors among colleagues, self-promotion

3 online meetings to bring meaning and structure to your personal transformation

Integration and Reflection

As part of the Resilience in Action program, you'll have access to three 90-minute reflection and integration sessions, each guided by one of the facilitators — Gabi, Codruța, or Florentina.

These are not necessarily lectures, but safe, supportive spaces centered on your real-life experience. We’ll explore how you've applied the learnings, the challenges you've faced, and the insights that emerged. Each session includes a live case shared by a participant, enriched through coaching, feedback, and group wisdom.

Moreover, by the middle of our journey together, you will have a 1:1 discussion with one of the facilitators, exploring your progress, motivation to continue, as well as any preliminary feedback you might have.

Inner progress comes not only from what we learn, but especially from what we dare to feel, share, and integrate.

BONUS 1

Participants will have access to a personal report on RESILIENCE

PR6 - Driven Resilience Report is a scientifically validated assessment of personal resilience levels, based on neuroscience.

The report includes:

  • your scores for the 6 resilience domains

Each section will be covered as the course progresses.

BONUS 2

Discounted Coaching Package
