Building Resilience and Cultivating Creativity: The Drivers of Our Ability to Navigate Change & Lead Innovation

In their book Tomorrowmind, Gabriella Rosen Kellerman, a medical doctor who pivoted from MRI brain research to public health policy and health care technology, and co-author Princeton Ph.D. alumnus, Martin Seligman, a founder of the field of positive behavioral psychology, offer salient perspectives on the future of work.

Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, educational theory, and medical research, they offer guidance on honing skills and perspectives to help individuals succeed in an ever changing work environment. As labor has transformed from hunting-gathering to agriculture to industrialization, success has depended on an important set of skills: Resilience (R), Finding meaning (M), establishing Social supports (S), and honing Prospection (P) (the ability to think about the future) and Innovation (I)—abilities to which they give the admittedly “out of order” acronym PRISM. Join this session to learn more from Dr. Kellerman about the PRISM framework proposed in the book, specifically how to build resilience and the role of creativity. She will share a combination of skills that produce resilient outcomes: cognitive agility, emotional regulation, optimism, self-efficacy, and self-compassion. She will also discuss how to cultivate creativity and an innovation mindset as an individual and when leading a team.Princeton graduate students who register and attend will receive a free copy of the book Tomorrowmind courtesy of the GradFUTURES team.
