Resilience is the ability to function with and recover from stress. We all have the capacity to be resilient. It is a mindset where we make an active decision to adapt, cope or respond. It is also a muscle which can be strengthened with intentional training. In Dr. Shepard’s previous presentation, “Stress Management 101,” he discussed strategies to help anyone respond to and recover from stress. In this brief, Dr. Shepard will encourage listeners to deliberately seek stress to build resilience. Intentional discomfort combined with a proper mindset and management strategy, trains the mind and body to effectively respond to future stressors. He will propose ten ways you can intentionally induce stress and tie in management strategies to prepare you to accomplish the given challenges posed.

Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Kyle H. Shepard, AuD is an Audiologist for the United States Navy. Prior to his commissioning in August 2013, he received his Bachelor of Arts from The Ohio State University where he double majored in Speech and Hearing Science and Psychology. He then obtained his Doctorate in Audiology from the Northeast Ohio AuD Consortium. His final-year externship was completed at the Cleveland Clinic from 2012-2013 where he was required to complete seven rotations, each specializing in a different area covering the scope of Audiology. He is currently stationed at Naval Air Station Patuxent River where he is the Branch Head of Aeromedical Monitoring & Analysis as well as the Science & Technology Portfolio Manager of Helmet Systems and Auditory Performance within the Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division Command. There he manages and collaborates with engineers and other medical specialties working on research projects contributing to areas in advanced hearing protection and communication systems, active noise reduction, 3D scanning, 3D printing, in-the-ear noise dosimetry, and human performance.
LCDR Shepard has been a stress management/resilience instructor for the Navy for nine years and ran the stress management program (CgOSC) for Naval Hospital Guam for two and a half years which became recognized for several best practices and the #1 CgOSC program in Navy Medicine at the time.
