Manage Stress and Burnout

It has become increasingly clear from these and other studies that the leading source of stress for adults is their work. The problem of job stress has become so widespread and so severe it is now described by the United Nations’ International Labor Organization as a ‘global epidemic,’ with no occupation and no nation proving to be exempt.

Research continually reaffirms that we can have more control over the effects of stress on our lives than most people realize. Real Leaders Manage Stress & Burnout will give you the skill and insight to change the destructive pattern of enduring unnecessary stress, to establishing the healthy lifestyle of effective stress management.

Stress and burnout are not the same. The management of stress and burnout require different skill sets. Effective management tools for both will be taught… and it will be FUN as well!
 

In this workshop participants will learn to:

• Learn that there are huge differences between stress and burnout

• Come to understand what causes stress

• Hone “problem ownership” skills and identify when others are trying to give us their “monkeys”

• Become effective in discerning where responsibility lies

• Identify the difference between being responsible “for” someone and being responsible “to” someone

• Figure out the common contributors to burnout

• Determine the burnout “danger signs”

• Develop the tools for handling and recovering from burnout

• Learn to identify symptoms in others and how to offer appropriate assistance

“American businesses pay the price of workers who suffer from job-related stress. Recent estimates are that job stress costs employers more than $200 billion a year in absenteeism, tardiness, burnout, lower productivity, high turnover, worker’s compensation and medical insurance costs. To put this in perspective, this figure amounts to more than 10 times the cost of all strikes combined or the sum total profits of the Fortune 500 companies.”
