You Can Only Pull Elastic So Far Before It Snaps!

An informed analysis of pressure at work - why it’s necessary and why too much of it results in ‘stress’. In a 45-60 minute keynote or workshop session, Carole reveals her unique ‘6-point toolkit’ for coping with pressure and stress in others.

Facing Up To Stress
• It will always be with us, driven by technology and human competitiveness
• It’s not all bad - some people suffer depression from too little stress
• Successfully keeping a handle on pressure is one hallmark of an achiever
• Others may press your buttons, but it is up to you what comes up on the screen!

Effective Counter-Stress Measures
• Winning the war with your mind and body - a wholehearted survival philosophy
• Ignore the puritan who boasts how many hours he/she works. It’s insecurity
• Just once, try (politely) refusing stressful demands, and see what happens
• If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude towards it

BStressFree to become TimeRich
• Acknowledge how much stress costs organisations and individuals alike
• Be proactive not reactive about managing workplace stress
• Time is a universal currency. Stop racing through life at 150mph or you will deny yourself the good things in life!
• Have a ‘To-Get-Done’ list. It’s more important to get things done than to do things.
