This talk is an upbeat way to acknowledge team members' challenges while reinforcing their strengths and self-efficacy through hands-on activities and memorable takeaways.

Stress Management For Leaders

Leaders are typically willing and able to continuously take on new responsibilities, and they are often ready to embrace situations that take them out of their comfort zone. This can be a strength, but it can also become a vulnerability in terms of stress. This workshop helps to reframe stress as a potentially healthy opportunity for growth, while also offering practical ways to reduce or manage stress at the moment. This talk also provides strategies to put boundaries around stress and become intentional about which stressors we're willing to take on as challenges, and which ones we're better off delegating or eliminating altogether. This workshop encompasses both personal and professional stressors, and of course can be customized to be specific to the unique life situations of individual audiences. Takeaways: ➢ Attendees will learn techniques to relax the body and mind to combat the unhealthy effects of stress ➢ Attendees will learn strategies to proactively manage sources of stress and prioritize stressors that are growth opportunities while decreasing investment in stressors that don't actually offer a good ROI ➢ Attendees will explore their relationship with stress and learn to reframe it as part of a healthy growth pattern, thereby reducing "stress about stress"

They may even be somewhat attached to their perfectionism because they associate it with a: - Willingness to notice and correct their mistakes - High level of conscientiousness - Desire to deliver their best effort However, many high-functioning people know that their perfectionism may ironically be blocking them from learning new skills or performing best. This is because perfectionism can actually be demotivating, distracting, and drain our energy. The constant second-guessing can result in procrastination, irritability, and reduced engagement. In an informative and entertaining session, Dr Chloe Carmichael teaches how to extract the positive aspects of perfectionism while shedding the negatives. She emphasizes how to harness perfectionism into a more productive and joyful approach to work, relationships, or anywhere else where perfectionism may hinder success.
