How Can We Do Our Jobs Better?
How to Reduce Stress, Increase Focus, Wash Our Emotions Between Projects and Difficult People as Well as Learning How to Develop Empathy for Others
It is no secret that work can be very rewarding but it can also be very stressful. In order to fix any problem you have to acknowledge that problem and when an employee becomes stressed and frazzled, work does have a tendency to suffer. So how do we overcome the stress that occurs with work? This program will address this through a four pronged attack. It is imperative that we reduce our stress through stress reduction techniques and learn how to increase our focus. The second step is to learn how to change our sometimes frazzled state and wash our emotions between projects and dealing with difficult people. The third step is to use strategic thinking, critical thinking and creativity techniques for clarifying our thinking. The fourth step is to understand what our fellow employees are experiencing. We will peer into the brain to see what exactly is happening to our brains and the brains of the people we can no longer agree with so that we may understand their point of view.

Taking care of yourself means more than setting sail on your annual cruise or lying down to a weekly back massage. In order to truly take care of yourself you have to start with the basics. If you can’t control stress, enjoy a good night sleep, and if you are suffering from back pain, then it doesn’t matter where you where you go or how many times someone releases the tension between your shoulder blades. If you are rushing around with the same pile of papers on your desk after you close those office doors behind you as when you walked in, if you walk in the supermarket attempting to buy shaving cream and absent-mindedly walk out with whipped cream, then it doesn’t matter how many glasses of wine and double lattes you down as you aspire to achieve daily bliss.
