Thriving in Uncertainty: A Conversation About the Presilience® Masterclass
In a world where change is constant and challenges seem to come from every direction, traditional leadership and risk management strategies are starting to show their cracks. Organizations are realizing that simply reacting to problems as they arise isn’t enough anymore. That’s where the Presilience® Masterclass comes in—a game-changing program that flips the script on how we approach risk, leadership, and high performance. RIT Certified is proud to partner with Australia-based Risk 2 Solution Group to offer this exclusive masterclass in the U.S.
We had a conversation with world-renowned Dr. Gavriel (Gav) Schneider, a leader in the field of human based risk management and the psychology of risk. He is the creator of the concept of Presilience® and the CEO of Australia-based Risk 2 Solution Group.
Why do you think this masterclass is needed in your field?
Today’s business landscape is evolving faster than ever. Traditional approaches to risk management, leadership, and high performance often fall short when it comes to addressing the complexities of modern challenges.
Traditional methods of responding to a crisis as it happens (even with a plan in place) are not performing at the rate of disruption we are currently experiencing. The Presilience® Masterclass is designed to break that cycle. It introduces a proactive methodology that doesn’t just prepare for potential threats but actually leverages them as opportunities for growth and innovation.
What makes it even more unique? It’s human-centric. This forward-thinking approach isn’t just about processes and checklists. It’s about people—helping leaders and high performers build the mindset needed to thrive, even when things get tough.
In today’s uncertain world, that kind of approach isn’t just useful—it’s essential.
What makes this different from other offerings like this?
There are plenty of leadership and risk management courses out there, but the Presilience® Masterclass stands apart.
Most programs focus on reactive strategies—mitigating risk, managing crises, and maintaining control, but the Presilience® Masterclass takes a proactive, opportunity-centric stance.
Rather than simply teaching you how to avoid pitfalls, the masterclass encourages you to view challenges as opportunities for innovation and positive change. It’s all about blending resilience with strategic foresight—two powerful forces that, when combined, can completely transform how organizations operate.
This approach leads to two key outcomes:
Turning disruptions into competitive advantages: Participants won’t just survive disruptions—they’ll learn how to harness them for growth.
Achieving sustained high performance: It’s not all about crisis mode. The masterclass also teaches strategies to maintain and elevate performance during stable, “business as usual” periods.
So, whether your organization is weathering a storm or enjoying a calm spell, you’ll have the tools to excel.
What is the main benefit attendees will gain from attending?
If there’s one big takeaway from the Presilience® Masterclass, it’s the ability to develop risk intelligence—the skill of understanding, managing, and even embracing uncertainty.
Participants will walk away with a solid understanding of the Presilience® framework. They’ll know how to anticipate disruptions, respond effectively, and use those moments as stepping stones for long-term success.
The masterclass also emphasizes creating a culture of continuous improvement. That means leaders will be equipped to drive positive change within their organizations, making them more agile, adaptable, and ready for whatever comes next.
Plus, participants will receive an RIT Certified digital badge and certificate, demonstrating their skills with the ability to showcase on their LinkedIn profile and portfolios.
Who should take this masterclass? Is it mainly for leaders, or people at any level of an organization?
This masterclass is designed for individuals at all levels of an organization — not just C-suite leaders. While executives and senior managers will certainly benefit from the strategic frameworks and leadership insights, the core principles are built around empowering individuals to drive change, whether they lead teams or not.
The methodology focuses on four critical layers: self, others, organization, and society — with the understanding that meaningful change starts at the individual level. If someone can’t manage their own mindset, decisions, and actions, it becomes nearly impossible to influence or lead others effectively. That means whether you're a team member on the frontlines or a senior executive, the skills taught here—like proactive risk management, opportunity-centric thinking, and adaptive decision-making—are directly applicable.
In fact, passionate individuals at any level can become powerful influencers, spotting risks and opportunities early and helping their organizations thrive during disruption. This isn’t just about reacting to challenges but learning how to spot and seize opportunities amidst them—skills that are valuable for everyone, regardless of title.
Ultimately, the goal is to create alignment across individuals, teams, and organizations, enabling everyone to contribute to resilience, adaptability, and high performance.
What is the most important piece of knowledge or skill that will be taught?
There is one core skill at the heart of the masterclass: developing a Presilient mindset.
This mindset is about more than just surviving. It’s about proactively identifying potential challenges and transforming them into strategic opportunities.
For leaders and high performers, this is a game-changer. Instead of reacting to problems as they appear, they’ll be thinking two—or even ten—steps ahead. This kind of forward-thinking approach not only helps organizations navigate uncertainty but positions them for future success.
In short, it’s about flipping the script on how we view challenges—from obstacles to opportunities.
How can the principles taught in the Presilience® Masterclass be tailored to specific industries or organizational contexts?
It’s a great question because one-size-fits-all solutions rarely work in the real world. That’s why the Presilience® framework is designed to be flexible.
Every industry has its own set of challenges, and the masterclass takes that into account. We show participants how to adapt the principles to fit their specific industry or organizational context, ensuring the strategies are relevant and impactful.
Whether you’re leading a tech startup, managing a healthcare facility, or steering a global corporation, the strategies from this masterclass can be customized to meet your unique needs.
Final Thoughts: Is This Masterclass Right for You?
If you’ve ever felt like your organization is constantly in reaction mode and dealing with one crisis after another, then the Presilience® Masterclass could be the shift you’ve been looking for.
It’s not just about managing risk. It’s about embracing uncertainty, turning challenges into opportunities, and fostering a proactive mindset that helps organizations thrive in both good times and bad.
And in a world where unpredictability is the only constant, that might be the most valuable skill of all. Learn more and register for this masterclass here.
