Stress-free Life Training
To experience greater health, more energy, and improved emotional and mental clarity to Create a More Meaningful and Fulfilling Life and Career.
The challenge
Indeed, life is continually changing and evolving. This means that from time to time, things just stop existing. Losing a job, ending a marriage, or moving to another place are examples of changes that many people have experienced. We lose out on something important, a big plan collapses, or we are rejected by someone. Eventually, all these life events create tremendous amount of stress in our lives.
Stress may be defined as ‘the reaction that people have to excessive pressure, or other types of demand placed upon them. It arises when they worry that they can’t cope’. As such, it is an increasingly important issue to consider the impact of Stress in the workplace.
A compelling body of evidence has emerged connecting mental and emotional stress to increased health risk. Health care costs in the US now exceed $2 trillion each year. Most costly health expenditures are for stress-related disorders, especially depression.
Big or little, stress affects the body in predictable ways. A typical stress reaction – which most of us experience dozens of times each day — begins a cascade of 1400 biochemical events in your body. If these reactions are left unchecked we age prematurely, our cognitive function is impaired, our energy is drained, and stress has robbed us of effectiveness and clarity. Ever noticed how it can take three or four days of your vacation before you finally feel relaxed? This is because of the build-up of stress chemicals that have been doing their silent damage without our approval. Research indicates that the relentless impact of minor, stressful events may be more damaging to health than one big stressor. In addition, many people don’t even seem to notice their stress. Or they have become so adapted to the daily pressures, irritations and annoyances of life, it starts to feel normal. Yet the small stresses accumulate quickly and we may not realize how much they impair performance and health until the damage has been done.
The solution
Managers need the confidence, understanding, knowledge and practical tools to prevent and reduce work-related stress.
Staff needs an awareness of the signs, effects and causes of stress and the tools to deal with different work/life pressures in a more positive and pro-active way so that they can protect themselves and help others.
Stress management training plays a vital part in improving staff morale; cultivating optimism in the face of adversity and reframing setbacks or rejection into new opportunities; reducing absenteeism and turnover and increasing productivity, so creating conditions for success.
It teaches you how to:
- Listen to what stress is telling you and explore the effects & causes of stress.
- Turn your negative energy draining thoughts into positive, empowering thoughts.
- Develop a constantly positive attitude and protect yourself from negative and stressful influences.
- Empower yourself.
- Master your environment.
- Boost your energy through choice statement.
- Be assertive and achieve your goals.

The Approach
The Stress free approach to training is comprehensive and holistic.
The underlying message is that although stress is abnormal and harmful, it can be prevented and controlled. It can also be seen as a blessing in disguise, a messenger indicating that something in our life needs to change.
The aim is always to enthuse, empower and enable participants to feel more in control of their life and, therefore, be less stressed.
The presentation style is very interactive and participants are given ‘permission’ through the trainer’s example, to openly share and discuss their ideas, feelings and experiences. Through a combination of relaxation techniques, self-assessment questionnaires and working in pairs and small groups, participants are led through a thought-provoking and enjoyable process that has a lasting impact.
Who would benefit from this workshop?
- New teams who need to quickly bond and establish effective ways of interacting
- Teams which have lost their spark and need to become re-energised and re-engaged
- Teams which are functioning well and would like to take their engagement and effectiveness to the next level
- Top teams which need to set the example of positive interaction and high performance to the rest of the organisation
