Thriving Through Stress Program
Introduction to the Seminar:
Negative Stress can be a scourge of modern life. Following the Covid-19 lockdowns, coupled with the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic, stress levels in some sectors have risen to new and catastrophic levels.
Businesses have been challenged like they perhaps never have. Uncertainty prevails. Commercial property values are under threat as workers across the world resist returning to the office environment. Traditional“safe bets”are now under the microscope. Many businesses have failed and many more teeter on the brink.
This Seminar is a pathway to regaining control, developing mastery over stress responses, and getting back into the driver’s seat, to regain control.
The Aim of the Seminar:
To teach people what the stress response is, why it occurs, how it manifests and how to take action to minimise its effects and to regain essential calm in the middle of a perceived storm.
Seminar Description:
Is this situation Armageddon or Interruption?
We start out by exploring the stress response. What is it? How does it arise?What is actually happening? What are the signs that tell indicate you are succumbing to stress?
We then explore what a person can do to negate the effects of stress, to return to calm and re-set to be able to get back on task.
We then explore how we create the stress response within our own Universe. We think it is coming from something on the outside, like an event, circumstance, or another person, but there is a significant missing piece.
The program then calls upon some old wisdom to teach the skills necessary to remain present, mindful, and aware. This is a powerful state where one can think and act deliberately.
Finally, we link this to work and explore how each contributes to the culture, and how to create a cooperative and cohesive working environment. We then explore the benefits of building powerful teamwork.
Finally,we inspire your people to understand that when they learn to manage their stress, they become more dependable and build stability and trust with clients.
