Managing Stress for Positive Change

This Managing Stress for Positive Change online training course explores how to successfully handle change in your work life. 

In the first module, you will learn how change works, how it can impact our stress as well as our satisfaction, our relationships, and our effectiveness at work.

The 2nd module will give you a clearer action focus on how to build in more of an Optimist-Winner strategy in dealing with change. It’s mostly about which “hat” you choose to wear (a “pessimist” or an “optimist” hat), and then what action you choose to take.

In 3rd module, you’ll get basic training in two body-mind skills you can easily use for staying balanced, focused, and in control.

In the 4th module, we’re going to focus on the amount of satisfaction you actually get back from all that stress. You’ll learn how you can raise your day-to-day work satisfaction by at least 30% or more.

In the last module, you’ll see how a win-win approach with your co-workers and your boss is the smartest and the most effective thing you can do to guarantee more of those “good days at work”. You’ll learn three skills which make more success and less stress in your work relationships a sure thing.
