Overview
The care and support of leaders is an often overlooked, yet essential, aspect of successful leadership. Alongside career development, leaders need the support to manage stress, increase self awareness, and recognise when they are dealing with their stress in unhealthy ways.
This half-day workshop takes leaders through 3 key aspects of self awareness: Self Care; Breathing for High Stress Situations; and Self Compassion. We look at healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms, creating your own toolkit to manage stress, the science behind stress management and compassion, how to develop a more compassionate mindset, and how this can positively impact career development.
We focus on making choices that have a lasting positive impact on health and wellbeing, supporting the whole person on their career journey.
