Stress is the silent killer and the cause of the failure of many promising enterprises.

Stress has a variety of causes, some obvious but many others are less so. This workshop will help you identify the causes and help you ensure you steer clear of stress traps, and help you to focus on the things that are important to help you realise your vision for you and your business.

In this lively and interactive workshop with Andy Bennett (IFA) and Kate Thorpe (Therapist and Stress Management Coach), you’ll learn the steps to take that will stress-proof your business and yourself so that you can focus on the things that are important and help you to realise your vision for you and your business.

Here's Andy's takeaways:

1. Why planning gives you peace of mind.
2. How to help you focus on the things you can control rather than those you have no influence over.
3. How to accept the inevitability of change in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years time.
4. Help you to understand your true purpose, and the steps you need to take to make it a reality.
5. A house, a boat, an alpaca – IT IS NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY!

Here's Kate's takeaways:

1. The Truth about Stress and what it really is
2. How stress impacts you, your people, and your business success
3. How to recognise when it becomes a problem
4. Effective but simple ways to change and minimise the devastating effects of stress on your life and work
5. Tools to help you reduce and manage stress for yourself and your people
