Workshop: How to Improve Productivity and Reduce Stress
Date: Friday 16 March 2012
Time: 9am – 1pm Central London
Cost: £99 + VAT (FREE for newsletter subscribers until 29 Feb)

With few people expected to take on more work, in an environment changing faster than in an previous era, we face an urgent need to better understand how to become more productive without burning out.  This interactive workshop will give you skills and techniques to apply yourself and share with colleagues.

•  Three-quarters of executives say that stress adversely affects their health, happiness and home life as well as their performance at work.
• A third of managers say they would change their job if they could achieve a better work/life balance.
• Stress is likely to become the most dangerous risk to business in the early part of the 21st century.
• Psychological well-being is a key predictor of job performance.

Expect to discover how to:

• Define your success: True prosperity can’t be defined by advertisers of luxury goods or fat bank balances. In fact real happiness is easier to achieve than financial wealth and it starts with establishing a clear picture of what success looks like for you.
• Beat email overload: Tricks and techniques to help you stay in control of email and prevent it from controlling you.
• Make Meetings Work: Simple guidelines for making meetings more effective, more interesting and less time-consuming.
• Eat and Sleep Well: How our diet and rest impacts our performance, with some easy ways to improve both.
• Maintain your Brain: By understanding the physiology and chemistry inside our heads we can develop techniques to harness stress for good and eliminate the harmful, enabling us to adapt and evolve to meet the demands of the changing workplace.
