I'm Having a Mental Health Day...
When things are chaotic and you can feel the pressure building towards stress - maybe you need to take some "mental health time". Ideas to reduce the build-up of stress and to make yourself feel better.
Is your workplace suffering from contagious stress?
Stress management is an issue all organisations need to pay attention to. Here, we consider what happens when stress starts to spread like any other illness in around the workplace. What can you do to prevent it?
Presentation Paranoia
One of the biggest concerns for many people is having to make a presentation to a group. Some say that it is a greater fear than dying! Well, this does not have to be the case! Here we aim to offer some ideas drawn from the courses we run to help you reduce this and to help you when making presentations.
Time thieves - stop them stealing from you
Time is now one of the most frequently used words in our language. Why? Because we feel we do not have enough in this busy, busy world we inhabit. Reality is that we have all the time there is!! Time management is something we can all benefit from - and one of the critical requirements for improving time management is to identify, and deal with, our time thieves or time stealers.
Work-Life Balance - how to get yours back!
How often do you hear people, or even yourself, complaining that their work-life balance is "out"? This usually is an indicator that work is taking over and that they do not feel as though they have enough time for themselves or their lives outside work. Yet, the solution lies within each of us, we are responsible for managing our own work-life balance. If it is not what we want, we have allowed this to happen and we can change things!
Train to maintain and develop your career
Why is it so many people think that training is something which their organisation should organise? Even when it is set up many people are resistant or reluctant to attend a course or to complete assignments? If top perfromers in sport, entertainment and other fields accept the need to keep learning, practising and developing, surely those in the workplace could follow the examples??
Own your own life
How many of us feel "cash rich, time poor"? (A number may admit to the second part, at least - or even poor on both counts!) We often live very busy lives, to the extent we feel out of control and as though we are responding to people and events all the time. This article is about regaining control of your life - what difference might it make to you?
Take time seriously
Time is an issue for many of us in this day and age. We feel that we do not have enough of it, often feeling out of control and rushed. A major reason for this is that we do not think of time as a resource - nor do we value it. This article challenges us to think about what we can do to begin to take time seriously and what we can gain by doing so.
