Stress Management Training

**Stress Management Training Course Outline**

**Course Introduction**

What if I told you that the solution to coping with stress at work wasn't about how to solve for the stress, but how to develop a relationship with the stress itself? Ever wonder why some people thrive in chaos?

After coaching leaders across Australia for 15 years I've discovered something rather fascinating, that stress isn't the issue, our response to it is what determines whether we flourish or go bust. This eye opening training will provide you with tested, practical strategies based in science, to not only cope with workplace pressure, but to use it as FUEL for peak performance.

**Course Overview**

This is a powerful one day programme that changes the way people know and handle stress in the workplace.

There'll be a space for people to learn to see their own stress patterns, and how to develop tailored responses for them, and how to put better boundaries in place in their work place, that are beneficial in terms of growth, productivity, and well being.

The programme serves them interactive workshops, exercises, and real life scenario planning to take back to the office and put to work right away. We tackle the reality of living in today's world, where we're always on, pulled in multiple directions, and subjected to intense workplace duress, and show how we can all find sure footedness in the ground that are already standing on.
