Managing Stress in Pressurized Projects

 

Online Registration & Payment

Synopsis

 
Challenging, Stimulating, Fast Moving… These are some of the words that we commonly use to describe our experience of project management at the beginning of the projects. However, we might use some of those words such as chaotic, stressful, and anxiety-inducing to describe our project experiences while the projects are in the later phases of the project life cycle. Stress in projects dis-empowers project managers and the team members. It creates illness, weakens communication, drains creativity, impairs project teamwork, and saps productivity.

We cannot escape from or avoid the reality of today’s rapidly changing, competitive, hi-tech project environment. The challenge is to restore a sense of power and control in our work lives. The SOLUTION is to equip ourselves with new beliefs, attitudes, and skills to not only survive but also thrive in this workplace reality.

Course Objectives
 
The workshop identifies empowering strategies squarely which address underlying causes of stress in today’s project environments. It offers prevention and intervention strategies as well as ways to cope with the stress. Relaxation exercise will be introduced in the workshop.
