Managing Workplace Stress: How to Create a Less Stressful and More Productive Work Environment

Stress is a killer— to you and to employee engagement, empowerment, productivity, morale, and a sense of accomplishment. When your self-esteem goes down, and your reputation and the work you do is threatened, how you handle it can be a serious blow to your career. If you are constantly overwhelmed, you are not as productive as you should be. Your performance suffers and the ability to lead people and the projects you are in charge of, take a severe hit.

As demands on you and your time continue to increase, so does the level of stress, unless you have a plan in place to handle it. When you are expected to accomplish more with less, take on increased duties and responsibilities, make tough decisions you need confidence – that you can handle it all. Even worse, when your stress rubs off on your employees, no one is operating at peak performance, and they will generate a toxic environment. The sources of stress are endless, and it is critical that you learn to recognize, manage and mitigate the negative effects of what stresses you. This is being proactive and taking steps to eliminate the stressors you can—and dealing with the stress you can’t.

Webinar Highlights

In this powerful presentation, you will be shown why it is so important to de-stress yourself and your environment in order to grow your reputation and career.

This is important: Not all stress is bad. It is how we handle it and keep the right perspective on it. Stress moves people ahead by driving action, or stops them cold from fear, uncertainty, loss of control and anxiety that is not monitored.
