THRIVING OR JUST SURVIVING

free energyPressure and performance

Life in the 21st century is pretty full-on and we all experience stress from a range of sources e.g. from our work lives, from our home lives and from our own expectations and aspirations.  Pressure can be a good thing, in that, we all need a certain amount of pressure to motivate and challenge us and when we experience a level of pressure that we can cope with, we are engaged, happy and perform at our best. When the level of pressure exceeds our ability to cope, however,  We stop thriving and become stressed. This has a negative impact on our performance e.g.:

 

  • We are more irritable, which impacts on our relationships with our team members, colleagues and customers
  • We have less confidence in taking on new challenges and embracing change
  • We take longer to make decisions and they may be of poorer quality as we are thinking more emotionally as opposed to logically
  • We have less energy and less enthusiasm

 

Some workplace pressures can be reduced or changed, however there will always be pressures that are an intrinsic part of the nature of the work/job and these cannot be changed.  What can be changed, however, is the way in which people think about pressure and the attitudes that they hold towards:

  • Themselves
  • Their abilities
  • Their work
  • Their colleagues.

 Developing Our ‘Thriving Not Surviving’ Model

 

From the work that we have carried out for organisations so far, we know that men respond differently than women, to stress and mental health issues. They are also less likely to attend any training that focuses on ‘Mental Health’ or ‘Emotional Resilience’. In designing this workshop, we wanted to produce something that would appeal equally to men and women. So, we have pulled together cutting edge research from a range of sources and we have used these findings to develop the ‘Thriving Not Surviving’ model.  The ‘Thriving Not Surviving’ model emphasizes the crucial cognitive strategies that enable Managers and Leaders to  build their Resilience and maintain high performance in pressured environments. It also helps develop a mind-set for succes.  The workshop is based on research evidence from:

  • Neuroscience
  • Mental toughness
  • Emotional Resilience
  • Positive Psychology
  • Growth Mind-Set

 

What Will Participants Get From The Workshop?

After completing the workshop, participants will be:

  • More In-Control, Optimistic and Resilient
  • More focused and Determined
  • Confident Making Good Business Decisions
  • Comfortable recognising and eliminating self -imposed limitations on their ability to succeed
  • Able to Challenge and Manage Pressures Effectively

 

What will The Organization Get Out of The Workshop?

  • More resilient staff who can perform well when under pressure
  • More harmonious working relationships
  • Higher levels of productivity and engagement
  • Lower sickness absence/presenteeism levels
