Managing Your Stress

This course is intended to develop the delegate’s understanding of stress and how it affects their performance at work. We will look at how stress develops; the perceptions that it causes and how you can take more control of the situation; knowing how to use pressure to improve achievement at work. We often need pressure to motivate us and by the end of the session, delegates will have a personal plan for managing their own stress levels and strategies for using pressure effectively.
