We all get stressed at some time in our working life, some more than others. How we deal with stress is the main difference that separates us from each other.
Stress can affect your ability to work, consequently affecting your business, but more importantly – your health.
Stress is ‘taken’ by the individual and not ‘given’ by the pressure of work. In other words, it is not about being faced with pressure, but more how we react to pressure. Stress is only natural and you cannot eliminate it altogether. Instead, you have to learn how to control or ‘manage’ stress to avoid the negative symptoms that we are threatened by.
Our programme helps the participants to learn strategies for managing stress and deal with it in a positive manner.
