Workshop: Understand Stress in order to manage it
We combine modern Science and ages old TaiChi techniques to provide ways for your staff to gain the insight that will allow to manage Stress effectively and avoid Burnouts. We help them to replace the belief that “stress is something wrong that happens to me” with the knowledge that “stress is how my body reacts to the demands I receive“.
The Managing Stress Workshop covers the points below, and the contents can be adjusted to the particular needs of an organization:
- What people normally call “Stress”
- Scientific explanation of Stress as a survival mechanism
- Body and mental effects of the Fight or Flight Response
- Stress in Nature .vs. chronic Stress in the 21st century
- Effects of long-term (chronic) Stress
- The relaxation response: what it is and how to elicit it
- Common Stressors, how to deal with them
- Why (some) people like Stress
- Stress and its effects on an organization or team
- “Good Stress” (Eustress) and “Bad Stress” (Distress) and their effect on productivity and innovation
- Exercises to manage Stress
Usually, the Managing Stress Workshop is delivered in two in person presentations followed by 6 short, weekly video call checkpoints. Arrangements are possible to deliver the workshop fully online and/or to incorporate extra topics on request.
