Stress Management (Virtual Session)
Editable training materials on stress management for a virtual training session.
 
Everyone feels stress from time to time: When something doesn’t go to plan; when we are put on the spot; when we are running late; when we are let down; when we feel out of our depth; when we are in an unfamiliar situation, we will feel a short burst of stress.
 
A small amount of stress is good for us. It heightens our senses, gives a rush of adrenaline and jolts us into action. However, excessive or sustained stress is damaging to our physical and mental health.
 
This Power Hour Expert session aims to increase participants' awareness and understanding of stress so that they can take steps to deal with it before it becomes a major problem. In particular, by completing this Power Hour Expert session, participants will be able to:
 
  • Describe (in broad terms) what stress is and what causes it
  • Recognise the symptoms of stress
  • Use practical techniques to reduce stress before it becomes a major problem
 
You can download our free Key Points Sheet and view a selection of the optional PowerPoint slides in pdf format to give you a taste of the session. Much more detail is included in the training session plan and detailed delegate workbook which you get when you purchase. (More slides are provided with the virtual session).
