In today’s hectic economy, stress has become chronic, with long-term stress harming our physical and mental health. Psychological research has found there is a very close relationship between a person’s EQ and their ability to manage stress. People with low EQ panic easily, feel helpless, and even make self-defeating decisions under stress. Those with high EQ function in an objective and effective way even when under high levels of stress. They know how to prevent the stress that leads to job burnout and to use stress to help them achieve satisfying goals.
At this workshop, you’ll learn how to improve your EQ using positive and constructive approaches to deal with the inevitable stress that you face at work, at home and in all areas of your life, and then turn it to your advantage.
