You know all the things to do to "manage" stress: deep breathing, yoga, exercise, meditation, etc. If you had time for all of that, you'd probably do it! The problem is, there are very few people in healthcare who have enough time in the day to manage their stress. In fact, one of the most common experiences for healthcare professionals is the thought "I'm so busy taking care of everyone else, I don't have time to take care of myself!"
This workshop is about identifying and resolving your stress - permanently. The key is to recognize that many of the things that stress us out are NEVER going to change! So, we have three choices: ACCEPT (this really means, resolve yourself to feel badly and deal with it), CHANGE, or LEAVE.
Most people stay stressed until they finally "burn out" and have no choice left but to LEAVE.
This workshop will help you to avoid the ACCEPT and LEAVE choices, and go straight to the third: CHANGE. You and your staff will learn dozens of communication "tricks" and stress "busters" - some that will change the outcomes you are getting from other people (thus eliminating the stressor from your life), and some that will change your perceptions about the stressors in the first place (thus eliminating your stress RESPONSE). You and your team will laugh your way through the workshop, as you discover how many of the stressors in your practice and in your lives can be said "goodbye" to - permanently!
