Resilience training in South Africa.
Strengthening individuals, teams and organisations
Resilience Institute South Africa (RISA) equips individuals and organisations with science-backed resilience training, consulting and assessment technology. As a nation of extraordinary diversity, determination and entrepreneurship, South Africa faces unique challenges — and holds immense potential.
Resilience has deep roots in Africa: humanity first learned to bounce, grow, connect and find flow on this continent, refining the ability to transcend challenges through insight, self-mastery and empathy. RISA brings this legacy into the modern workplace.
Resilience Institute was founded by Dr Sven Hansen, a South African based in New Zealand; the South African division was established through the research and vision of Ms N. B. Sithole, an experienced psychologist and executive leader. Today we are part of a global network spanning seven international jurisdictions.
