A practical course for staff, specialists and managers who wish to remain more resilient, composed and capable of taking action in challenging work environments. The focus is on factors that build resilience, understanding stress, self-regulation, prioritisation and healthy coping strategies. Examples relate to typical stressful situations such as a heavy workload, change processes, conflicts, time pressure and uncertainty.
You will understand how stress arises, which factors promote resilience, and how to deal with stress constructively.
