Overcoming the Stress and Success Barrier
In the workplace, there will always be stressful seasons. Stress is a reality and can never be completely eliminated from one’s life. Nonetheless, understanding one’s own stress response and the stress responses of co-workers provides an opportunity to improve work and home environments. Instead of simply responding to stress, you can learn how to proactively identify and alleviate stress in yourself and in others. This training easily applies not only to the workplace but also to any interpersonal relationship.
Attendees will begin to learn…
- How to identify stress responses and alleviate the effects of stress in oneself and others.
- Attendees will learn about a practical guide to understanding the way different personalities experience stress
- The connection between our personal temperament and the way that we stress in order to learn better mechanisms for dealing with stress and helping others with theirs.
- Different personality stressors, how stress manifests itself, how to respond to someone else’s stress, and ways to avoid increasing someone’s stress.
