About this program

Learn to meet the challenges of a busy work life and equip yourself with the tools to regulate stress, achieve optimal recovery and increase your overall wellbeing. Many people experience high levels of stress in their workplace, whether due to deadlines, high pressure or conflict situations. Long-term stress is bad for health, and can affect all areas of your life.

This program will not only give you the tools to manage stress, it will also help you find a good balance between the demands of a busy job and the needs of your personal and family life- and between effort and recovery. You will begin by mapping the main challenges you are facing at the moment as well as the goals and values you want to work towards. You will then be taken step-by-step through learning a range of tried and tested tools for reducing stress, including everything from HRV training and mindfulness to powerful tools for managing conflict.

By completing this program you will increase your capacity to manage stress and challenges at work, enhance your mental skill set and invest in your own psychological wellbeing.
