Stress Awareness
WHO
Line managers, team leaders, senior managers
This workshop would be suitable for team members at any stage of their career, particularly those who feel that they would benefit from learning better stress management techniques.
WHY
The word ‘stress’ is used to describe the physical and/or emotional response to the demands and pressures that modern living means we come under from time to time. Stress can be a positive thing, which drives us on and helps us grow, develop and be stimulated.
However, when stress reaches a certain level, it can overcome a person’s ability to cope and can impact on their physical and mental health. This session has been developed to help you identify the causes and effects of stress and to assist you in developing the skills required to manage stress in your own life. The focus is on the positive things that you can do to make changes in your life which will reduce the impact that ‘bad’ stress places on you.
WHAT
Having attended this workshop, you will be able to:
- Define Stress and the affect it has on the body
- Use specific relaxation techniques to overcome stress
- Follow a model for coping with stress
- Identify methods of avoiding stress where possible
- Reduce your own stress by following clear techniques
HOW
This is a one day workshop which covers a wealth of knowledge to better enable leaders and managers to perform their role successfully.
Using a combination of group work, one to one discussions and sharing personal experiences to which this learning could be applied, the knowledge is embedded with activities and practical exercises, and the day ends with a plan for actioning this new learning in the workplace beyond the workshop.
