Stop Letting That Person Ruin Your Day - Strategies To Effectively Handle Negative Attitudes And Difficult People
From customers to co-workers, from family members to acquaintances, difficult people create situations in which we become frustrated, powerless, and ill-equipped to find solutions.
This negativity costs you and those around you. Nothing can change the fact that some people are simply more difficult to deal with. What you can change is your reaction. Success depends on being able to recognize and respond appropriately to different behaviours and situations.
This workshop focuses on eight common types of negative attitudes and difficult people and how to effectively cope and manage the impact of their behaviour based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM.
Harness Your Energy - Bust Your Stress
The way in which we work can cause exhaustion and contribute to job stress. This lively workshop demonstrates valuable stress busting techniques that can utilize and nurture our energy, restore focus and help to prevent injury and illness.
In this active and upbeat workshop participants will practice various types of deskercises, breathing techniques, and other stress busters that can be easily performed throughout their day. Discussions will focus on the obstacles that prevent us from implementing these stress buster strategies.
Working Smart In Today`s Stressful Workplace
Downsizing, restructuring, perfectionism, doing more with less, disconnection, a lack of control and appreciation - Everyone experiences some degree of job related stress. Some stress is essential to maintain peak performance. However, too much job stress can lower productivity, lead to workaholism, create burnout, increase medical claims, and decrease employee satisfaction. The key to coping is to understand the factors that make a person vulnerable, to remove or modify those sources of stress that can be influenced and to find beneficial coping strategies for those sources that can't be controlled.
This workshop helps participants identify their top sources of workplace stress. Through assessments, participants see if they are working at their optimal stress level and assists them in identifying the types of symptoms that may be linked to their stress. Participants are encouraged to develop a personal stress action plan based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM, by identifying positive opportunities and utilizing practical approaches and solutions to integrate these techniques into their busy work life.
Stress Smarts For Shift-Workers
Shift work has increased enormously during our modern era, which can pose many difficulties and cause increased stress to employees. Fatigue due to shift-work decreases productivity, increases accidents, changes mood, lowers resistance to infection and affects most body functioning. This workshop focuses on the impact of shift work on sleep, energy cycles, health and relationships and provides practical strategies based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM to reduce the negative impact.
This workshop will help participants to identify their sources of stress related to shift work. Coping strategies will center on reducing the impact of shift stress on sleep, illness and support by answering questions on how much sleep do we need, how we know if we are getting enough sleep, what strategies are important to maintain health as a shift-worker and how can we keep connected to those around us.
S-O-S: From Surviving To Thriving With Stress
Stress is a fact of life. We live in a fast-paced and stressful world and our reactions to the daily stressors can leave us exposed to a variety of illnesses and injuries or can take us away from our life goals. There are valuable strategies that we can utilize to help us strive for optimal health. Some strategies we choose actually create more problems than they solve. This interactive workshop helps us to choose the most effective coping strategies based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM that will allow us to quickly bounce back after a stressful situation and minimize negative effects.
This practical and thought-provoking coping with stress workshop focuses on understanding the key concepts of stress management. This session will engage participants in assessing their behavioural, physiological, and psychological stress symptoms and in developing a personal stress action plan based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM by identifying positive opportunities and utilizing practical approaches and solutions to integrate these techniques into their busy life.
Joy, Success and The Meaning Of Life - Adding More Life To Your Years
Life places many demands on our time and energy and balance can feel like an unrealistic dream. Balance is not a static condition that you can possess and preserve. It is an activity that you continually engage in as you make corrections throughout your life. Balance becomes the harmonious integration of all aspects of your life.
This interactive and reflective work life balance workshop examines the results of a lack of balance in one's life, as well as suggestions for establishing balance based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM. Beverly's inspiring presentation and video will provide you with an opportunity to focus your goals, examine your life to bring it into balance using activity management strategies and will give you tips to increase and conserve your energy in order to design the life you wish to lead.
Holidays By Design - Beating Holiday Stress
Holidays provide opportunity for celebration, gift-giving, reflection, tradition, relationship and spiritual renewal, and relaxation. The key to success in avoiding 'Holiday Blues' or 'Holiday Stress' is to recognize those activities that energize, motivate, and please us, and to delete or change those activities that irritate, disappoint, and anger us.
This is a great workshop to offer in October - before Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, and before summer vacation gets into full swing. This lively workshop helps participants to identify their top sources of holiday/vacation stress and aids them in developing practical coping strategies based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM.
Making Wellness Work - Creating A Comprhensive Wellness Program
"Workplace health promotion should not be construed as a means of making employers responsible for their employees' well-being. Rather the focus is on creating an environment at work that is conducive to improving health behaviours and fostering well-being." Conference Board Of Canada, Oct 2002
There is a misconception that if you take good care of your employees your business won't be as successful. Helping employees handle stress is a smart business decision and healthy employees positively impact the bottom line.
This interactive workplace wellness workshop is designed for team leaders to review the structures and supports within their workplace and to develop strategies that will create a comprehensive wellness program based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM.
Stress Smart Leaders For StressLess Teams - Assessing Team Member Stress
Successful organizations know that healthy employees are a competitive edge. Company leaders are in a unique position to assist employees in recognizing and dealing with the various changes and stressors faced in the workplace. The Conference Board Of Canada, 2004, emphasized in its Organizational Strategies For Success paper that managers and leaders must be supportive of their employees and they must be able to plan and program effectively for their employees. However, less that 50% of top performing companies are providing leadership training to their first-line, mid-level or senior managers.
Two major areas important to progressive leaders will be addressed in this workshop - their stress that they as leaders face in their day-to-day functioning and the skills to help detect, assess and minimize the effects of stress that those in their team may be facing.
This stress and leadership workshop will help participants to recognize their team's reactions to stress. It will explore a variety of useful, workable and practical ways to help their team reduce stress, improve productivity and support their team in achieving their objectives based on the S-O-S PrincipleTM.
Mental Illness Awareness - Hidden Issues Within Our Teams
This mental illness workshop promotes awareness and knowledge of the symptoms, frequency, treatment options and tips for coping in relation to Schizophrenia, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders and Personality Disorders.
In The Depths - Combating Depression In The Workplace
Untreated Depression is costly - personally, corporately and socially. We know that mental health claims are the fastest growing category of disability costs and that the workplace is an important venue for detection, support and connection to treatment.
Depression affects about 10% of the population. It is a biochemical disorder that causes changes in a person's mood, behaviour and feelings and interferes with their everyday living. Through this stress and depression workshop, participants will become aware of the signs, impact and treatment options available for Depression and the need to rid the workplace of the stigma associated with it.
Suicide Awareness - From Recognition To Support - From Permanent Solution To Crisis Intervention
Despite suicide rates rising, most Canadians have very little understanding of this issue, its risk factors or how to provide help. The cloak of secrecy around suicide needs to be pushed back in order to effectively spread awareness and assist those who are caught in this sense of hopelessness.
This suicide workshop has been created to address the critical need for basic education about suicide and to enable participants to provide informed and effective interventions and support to their peers, families and friends.
