Stress Mangement
People who are over stressed and unhappy do not work effectively or efficiently. Money is wasted through inflexibility, absenteeism, and mistakes. Most people approach stress management through rational use of time management. This only works up to a point; one may know what one should do but it is a totally different thing to make the internal changes necessary to feel and behave in a more effective way. Motivation is an internal process that requires the setting of personal goals and then working towards them in a confident way. By teaching self-hypnosis, confidence building and goal setting I teach people to become to become the master rather than the victim of their emotions. My workshop approach allows for group teaching and also individual participation so that individuals develop skills which will, if used regularly, enable them to cope with increasing stress and yet still function comfortably at their optimum level of performance.
