Workplace Resilience

Coping with workplace stress is perhaps one of the greatest challenges facing us in today’s society - no matter what occupation we have or position we may hold. Many of us work under constant pressure, wrestling new situations, fierce deadlines, growing competition and tighter budgets. This takes its toll on all those involved. This valuable and entertaining workshop helps those attending gain a wider, wiser, more reassuring perspective on the challenges of work – and of ‘Life beyond Work!’.
