This course will help you to understand stress better, recognise your own patterns of reaction, and help you develop new, healthier responses. In the process you will become better at focusing on present activities, with less distraction in terms of past and future worries. You will also develop emotional intelligence, a key career skill. The tools and approaches are focused on the workplace, but are life skills for every situation.
