Stress has become a permanent factor present in the lives of each of us. We live in this century of speed and almost everyone blames difficulties generated by everyday stress. The congested traffic, the burden of professional tasks, the uncertainties generated by the end of the pandemic period... all these situations generate discomfort and can affect the mental and emotional state of company employees. Studies in recent years claim that stress has become the second biggest factor affecting employee health.

Stressors can generate a series of emotional reactions associated with fear, sadness, disappointment, anger, fatigue, etc., and each of these reactions can have different intensities starting from a moderate level stress of level 1-2, passing through an accentuated stress of level 3-4 and reaching an intense stress of burnout type of level 5.

We aim to discuss ways in which we can recognize the level of stress we are under and what would be some goals we can have to overcome the emotional load more easily.

In the last part we will discuss some "tips and tricks" to use to reduce stress and increase resilience for each level.

A one day course on Stress Managment and Prevention

Audience:

• All roles within an organisation.

Overview:

This is an instructor led course, delivered virtually or face to face. Basing its content on evidence based scientific research such as the work of Professor Lisa Feldman Barrett, this course dispels some of the established myths around human engagement.  The course focuses on the key attributes of person to person skills. The phrase ‘people person’ is often misconstrued as something we either have or not. Some people are particularly gifted with an ease around their colleagues but just like technical or academic skills, these rarely come without training and practice. Rather than thinking about concepts such as emotional intelligence, the course concentrates on the idea of neuroplasticity – the ability of the brain to learn, adapt and ultimately improve performance. The course gives candidates an excellent basis to develop some basic techniques in their own style. The course explains how we can give more focus to others' needs and perspectives and in doing so, develop our own capacity for empathy.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand what the principles of emotional granularity are and how they can be applied.
• Describe the various techniques of developing empathy and utilise their own style.
• Apply these techniques during formal and informal exchanges to improve and enhance engagement opportunities.

Format of the Course:

• Either instructor led or via webinar.
• Scenario-based presentations, role play and demonstrations.

Audience:

• All roles within an organisation that would benefit from enhancing meetings and group engagement.
• Managers who aspire to improve project efficiency.

Overview:

The candidates will be challenged on the purpose and outcome of meetings before progressing to time planning and discipline. Few business activities are as wasteful in time or energy than a poorly arranged and managed meeting. When individuals or groups come together with very different expectations and agendas, the experience can create more uncertainty, conflict and occasionally chaos if it’s not organised and managed effectively. The establishment of some very basic principles before meetings are considered as a business activity. Just as in any form of business resource allocation, alternatives have to be considered. The Covid19 pandemic as introduced us all to the concept of virtual meetings which brings a different dynamic to the traditional meeting environment. The course discusses how to utilise some of these new habits and bring greater efficiencies into meetings.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand what the structure, purpose and aim of an effective meeting looks like.

Audience:

• Aspiring managers.
• All roles within an organisation that would benefit from assertiveness training.
• Managers who wish to develop their skillset.

Overview:

The course encourages the candidates to engage from the outset. Assertiveness can often be mistaken for confrontation, but lack of assertion is just as likely to lead to situations of conflict by allowing ambiguity to drive the agenda. This can be wasteful and destructive. The candidates are introduced to basic intervention strategies and then given the opportunity to develop their own version. Role play is an ideal medium with which the trainer and candidate alike can facilitate an open discussion on effective technique. The course outlines assertion strategies that are employed by the emergency services, healthcare professionals and the military. The importance of the development and maintenance of trust is a key theme through the training. The course also looks at how assertion can reduce levels of stress within work environments and therefore enhance productivity.

• Individuals who wish to develop their management skillset.

Overview:

This course is instructor led and can be broken down into six one-hour webinars to be undertaken in one session or as series of separate bite-sized sessions to suit the candidates’ timetable. Team skills are specific set of competencies which have been identified through extensive research into high performing roles across numerous industries. Team skills combine the disciplines of social & situational awareness, decision-making, managing workload and communication. Rather than approach each discipline as a discrete subject, this course explains how performance can be self-analysed through the prism of team skills. Candidates are expected to contribute their own experience and will be give ample opportunity to apply their new knowledge to a selection of case studies. The course culminates with the candidate’s production of their own competency diagrams which are applicable to their own working environment. The course has proved to be particularly valuable to those attendees whose role requires written and verbal assessments.

Overview:

This course is instructor led and can be broken down into three two-hour webinars to be undertaken in one session or as series of separate bite-sized sessions to suit the candidates’ timetable. This course takes the discipline of presentation skills to an advanced level. There are few business activities which would not benefit from enhanced briefing skills. As humans, we are genetically programmed to receive and deliver stories. We start this essential skill as young children then too often as adults delegate this function to electronic media. Whilst the use of new technology can facilitate the conveying of key themes and messages it is no substitute to the foundations which make a great presentation. The course takes the candidates from the ground up. We start and finish a great presentation with an impression of ourselves and the message we want to leave our audience with. Using techniques used by lawyers, lecturers, and from TED talks, this course leaves candidates with considerably enhanced confidence in their ability to deliver great quality.

Overview:

This course is instructor led and can be broken down into three two-hour webinars to be undertaken in one session or as series of separate bite-sized sessions to suit the candidates’ timetable. The course is led, directed and designed by trainers with extensive experience in the use of mindfulness techniques within high pressure roles across a variety of industries. Although the basic principles of mindfulness originate in the Buddhist, Zen and Tibetan meditation techniques, the benefits of mindfulness and meditation are supplemented by an increasing body of academic research. The course allows candidates to discover some of the origins of the method but rapidly embarks into the practical application of mindfulness. Using practical meditation techniques, candidates will be encouraged to consider their thoughts and the effect of their feelings. Progressing between formal and informal meditation, the course demonstrates how these techniques can be brought into regular routines to develop bespoke techniques to offset the effects of stress and overwork.

Overview:

This course addresses what for some is the most challenging aspect of their professional lives. Whilst some individuals thrive in the attention that is afforded them in the spotlight of mass attention others see the experience as terrifying. The course uses many of the techniques used by professional speakers across industry, the military and elite sport. The candidates will hear real life examples of how people have overcome their inhibitions to become accomplished public speakers. The reasons behind some people’s inhibitions are complex and highly personalised; this course achieves its remarkable success by allowing individuals to express their own style rather than trying to impose a set or standard approach. Some of the world’s most engaging and accomplished speakers break many conventions of public speaking yet achieve their aims by being true to their own style and approach. The course is intense, engaging and fun. It will allow candidates to express themselves and enhance their self confidence in a safe learning environment.
