DESCRIPTION
You Can’t Stop the Waves but You Can Learn To Surf – Stress Management During this seminar, your team will have the opportunity to reflect on their personal response to stress and through building this insight, they will develop tools to respond more effectively to the perceived pressures they face at work. Through discussion around our stress mind set, our reactions to stress and practicing simple mindfulness skills, they will leave the session with a practical toolkit to bring new stress management skills to their work. Benefits: As each person is encouraged to develop their own personal toolkit, this workshop is more meaningful than a generic presentation or lecture and therefore the impact is ongoing and return on investment greater. Reduced stress will result in lower levels of absenteeism, sick leave and workplace conflict. Suitable for: Any organization seeking to provide their employees with practical tools to manage their personal stress. This workshop is especially relevant during times of organizational change.TRANSCRIPT
