How to keep your head when all around you are losing theirs....
Nowadays the stress experienced by entrepreneurs and small businesses may be caused more by cash flow and keeping the business afloat rather than work overload. While the experience of stress may have changed, its potentially negative impact remains the same. The question is how you can turn stress into a positive.
Attending the ' DCEB Re-Energise Your Business Thinking' seminar will also provide you with an opportunity to reflect on how you can best manage your own and others' stress levels through learning how to reframe events, regulate your emotions and build resilience to stressful events.
The seminar will be delivered by Torunn Dahl works as an Business Psychologist with Pearn Kandola. She also has an MBA and spent 10 years working in finance in both multinational and start-up environments. Since joining Pearn Kandola, Torunn has successfully delivered many seminars in the area.
Being clear in your own mind as to the nature of stress can help you to minimise its impact. For example, it is very likely that the demands on small businesses will increase in these uncertain times. Unpredictability in the environment is linked to increasing stress symptoms in people. Short of being able to control the environment, the main and only viable route to effective stress management is to consider how you yourself and others frame the world and think about what is happening in it.
One technique in the management of stress symptoms that has shown great success in medical clinics and workplace settings is mindfulness. This relates to awareness of your own thought patterns, emotional regulation and bodily regulation. There are good quality tools to help you assess this and plan interventions to cope with stress. Learn how to practice 3 specific techniques to assist you in performing to the best of your ability in a stressful situation.
