Short Workshop | Max. 20 Participants
90 minutes
Workshop Outcomes
- Understand how the nervous system responds to workplace stress and why conventional willpower-based approaches to managing it often fail
- Recognise personal early warning signs of stress escalation before they affect performance, relationships, or wellbeing
- Apply at least two practical, evidence-based regulation techniques to interrupt and recover from acute stress responses
Topics Covered
- The neuroscience of stress — how the nervous system drives the stress response and what this means for performance and decision-making
- Identifying personal stress triggers and early escalation signals in the workplace context
- Practical regulation techniques drawing on cognitive, behavioural, and somatic approaches for rapid stress recovery
Location
- Willing to work remote

Overview
Workplace stress is inevitable. Chronic, unmanaged stress is not. Yet most employees have never been taught how their nervous system responds to pressure — or given practical tools to shift out of stress states quickly and effectively.
This evidence-based session combines current neuroscience with practical nervous system regulation techniques to help employees understand their stress response and intervene early. Participants leave with immediately applicable tools drawn from cognitive, behavioural, and somatic approaches — giving them a broader repertoire than traditional stress management training typically provides. Designed for general office-based teams, this 90-minute session works equally well as a standalone wellbeing offering or as a complement to existing psychological safety and mental health initiatives.
No prior knowledge is required. Content is grounded in evidence-based frameworks and delivered in an accessible, workplace-appropriate format that normalises the conversation around stress without pathologising it.

Who is this workshop for
Suitable for all employees in general office-based roles — particularly those working in high-pressure, fast-paced, or emotionally demanding environments where stress is chronic rather than occasional. No prior knowledge required. Complements psychological safety, mental health awareness, and burnout prevention programmes.
Handouts/materials provided
Participants receive a professionally designed PDF handout to accompany the session. It includes key reference content from the workshop and a personal planning template for capturing their commitments and next steps. Designed to be used during the session and kept as a practical take-home resource.
What to bring
Just yourself and a willingness to reflect. All workshop materials, including your participant handout, are provided on the day. No prior knowledge or preparation is required.
Facilitator
About the facilitator
Caroline Crosbie works at the intersection of neuroscience, performance, and workplace wellbeing — helping individuals and teams in demanding environments perform sustainably, regulate effectively, and work together well.
With over 30 years of experience and a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Ireland, Caroline brings a rigorous evidence base to everything she delivers. Her work draws on sleep science, nervous system regulation, and the psychology of team dynamics — translated into practical tools that work in real workplaces, not just training rooms.
She works primarily with leaders, managers, and teams in government and professional services — environments where the pressure to perform is high, the margin for error is low, and the human cost of getting it wrong compounds quietly over time.
Caroline's programmes are part of the Sustainable Performance Series — a suite of evidence-based workshops designed for organisations that take performance seriously and understand that sustaining it requires more than resilience training.
Key Expertise
- Psychological safety and team effectiveness
- Stress, anxiety and nervous system regulation
- Sleep science and work performance
- Burnout prevention and sustainable performance
- Emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness
Industry Focus
- Government and public sector
- Local government
- Health and community services
- Professional services
- Mining and resources
