Stress Management Course

| Venue: | Your premises |
| Cost: | TBC |
| Maximum Delegates: | 20 |
Learning how to manage and exploit stress and pressure!
Course Introduction
Though nearly everyone suffers from excessive stress at some time in their professional or personal life, it can be a positive force on performance. However, if we don't learn how to deal with it, stress can be destructive, leading to under-performance and an impact on the organisation's bottom line.
The practical, interactive and supportive learning environment created by this course empowers participants to manage the pressure in their lives. By recognising the symptoms of stress and pressure, they can deal with negative forces and exploit positive aspects.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Understand the nature of pressure
- Recognise the symptoms of excessive stress in yourself and others
- Deal with stress and pressure more effectively.
Who should attend this course?
Anyone who finds stress an increasing problem at work or who is seeking to increase their effectiveness through changing old patterns of behaviour.
Course Outline
Session 1 Introductions
The objective of this session is to help delegates feel comfortable and to define what they want from the programme.
- Introductions
- Programme overview
- Individual objectives and expectations
- Learning styles
- Beliefs
Session 2 Understanding the nature of pressure
Pressure plays an important role in business life, as a certain degree helps to encourage and motivate people to get the most from themselves, but it can sometimes become counterproductive and disabling.
Through a combination of tutor input, group discussions and exercises, delegates:
- Define pressure
- Explore generic and individual causes of pressure
- Examine optimum levels of pressure
- Look into the dangers of stress
- Define different behavioural types
Session 3 Recognising pressure
The symptoms of excessive pressure are identified, enabling delegates to recognise these in themselves and others.
Recognition of the problem is the first step, which then allows us to turn toward potential solutions. During the session delegates examine:
- Changes in behaviour
- Changes in performance
- The instinctive human response to pressure
- Changes in thinking
- Recognising what we can change and influence
Session 4 Practical Guidance
During this session delegates are encouraged to use a variety of tools for effective pressure management. The tools need to be practical in the context of business life and delegates are given a range of possible approaches that they can use back in the work place, including:
- Managing mental state
- Thinking positively
- Communicating effectively and using support from others
- Creating the right environment
- Adopting appropriate systems and routines
Session 5 Experiencing freedom from stress
Sometimes pressure can become too much and it is impossible to focus. This session puts forward guidance and exercises for the participants to use in order to regain focus and perspective.
Each delegate may identify with a different technique that feels more comfortable to them, so a variety of methods are put forward by the facilitator for consideration. Participants are encouraged to be creative and choose solutions that work for them.
Specific areas of focus are:
- Nutrition
- Exercise
- Relaxation and practical techniques
Session 6 Planning and review
This final session enables delegates to review the course and complete their action plans to help them transfer what they have learned back to their workplace situations, specifically:
- Goal setting
- Making changes
