How To Keep Stress Useful

A powerful alternative to trying to manage stress
Half day

Overview

How often do you hear anyone talking about stress like it’s a good thing? Stress rightly gets a lot of bad press, with the World Health Organisation referring to it as the 21st Century epidemic. In this session, you’ll discover that’s not the full story.

How do you keep yourself, and your people, on top form? At your best, you’re amazing, but day-to-day pressures, disagreements and worries can easily erode that away. Performance has a lot to do with state of mind.

The most obvious way to stop stress from building up, is to do something about what’s causing it. But when many of those causes are things you can’t change, it’s easy to get stuck.

Sue’s got many people past that point. This session shares how, by introducing a powerful alternative to trying to manage stress.

What you'll learn

  • Why managing stress doesn’t really work
  • How to get more of the stresses which give you energy and less of those which drain it, for yourself and across your organisation
  • Which hard-wired mind-habits can get in the way, and how to get them working for you
  • How to stop run away worrying, and sleep more easily
  • The most common myths which keep people stuck, and how to get past them
  • How to reduce the impact of dealing with difficult people
  • Straightforward skills for reducing overwhelm
  • How to stay at your best, even when the pressure’s on
