University of Herts: Coaching and Mentoring Forum 2010
This workshop informs you how to recognise signs of stress at work and at home and what happens to your body under stress long-term. It includes personal stress audits to determine just how stressed you are and whether your personality is more likely to make you stressed.
Challenge all your “thinking errors” and learn how to recognise when you are contributing towards your own stress. Also covers time management and the importance of eating the right foods/exercise and obtaining a work-life balance when stressed. The workshop ends with a relaxation exercise and you will leave with a personal action plan to combat stress in the future.
