Managing Stress in the Workplace

Whether stress escalates into debilitating, negative stress or motivating, positive stress depends on your interpretations of your stress response and your coping strategies. Metacognition - the thinking about our thinking - has been demonstrated to be the most effective stress reduction process. Learn cognitive skills to eliminate debilitating stress from your personal and professional life and increase your resilience in the face of change and setbacks.


The following topics will be covered:

  • thinking habits that produce or reduce stress
  • how to develop your awareness of stress, to use its helpful aspect, to prevent or reduce its harmful aspect
  • the overactive mind
  • physical health and stress
  • assertiveness
  • effective use of the breath, relaxation and visualisation
  • your personal action plan


    On completing this course participants will have:

  • strategies to increase their resilience in the face of change and setbacks
  • explored ways to reduce their stress at work and home
  • explored ways to improve their confidence and the ability to act effectively
  • identified ways to increase their flexibility, satisfaction and ease in dealing with family and business associates
