Overcoming Stress in Project Management

Whereas short bursts of stress have a positive effect on performance, prolonged stress is harmful to the body and can cause burnout. Leading complex projects is inherently stressful and too many project managers are chronically stressed. They don’t take the warning signs seriously and their health and well-being suffer as a result. In addition, their stress levels easily spill over to the rest of the project, where a noticeable decline in performance can be observed.

The good news is that with the right amount of attention on our habits, beliefs and thought patterns it is possible to reduce negative stress. This one-day online training course raises awareness about stress management and work-life balance and provides practical solutions that can sustain a change of behavior at work as well as outside work. When we are successfully able to reduce negative stress, our performance improves along with our health and happiness. The purpose of this course is not only to create awareness around emotional wellbeing for the individual participant, but also to help them watch out for their team members and to have conversations that promote wellbeing within the project team as a whole.
