First Two Steps to Creating Resilience
Stressful situations are challenging for everyone. Whether caused by unforeseen events or by private/ work-related problems, they hinder one's own performance and can even lead to an inability to work. Therefore, in order for a project manager to deal with stressful situations properly, a certain degree of resilience is also required. This includes, for instance, the ability to adapt to new situations and circumstances as well as a certain psychological strength. Resilience helps to survive difficult situations without remaining impaired and can also be learned or trained to a certain extent. And this is exactly the topic of Leo Babauta's article. He gives helpful tips on how you can increase your resilience and which everyday situations cause unnecessary stress. If you are now curious, then take a look at the article!

Lessons Learned im Projekt: Was, warum und wie es richtig geht
Ideally, at the end of each project, there is a discussion about what went well and where optimisation is needed. Such a discussion of experiences is called "lessons learned". If project participants actively gain insights from the project that has been completed, this brings the advantage that these mistakes will not be repeated in the future. The risks associated with these mistakes are thus minimised. Furthermore, the team benefits from a "lessons learned" session, as teamwork is improved as a result. But it is not only useful to gather insights at the end of a project - it can be equally beneficial if "lessons learned" workshops are conducted during the project, for example after a critical project phase has been completed. Andrea Windolph explains exactly what a "lessons learned" workshop should look like and who should participate.
