We are experiencing more stress today than ever before in human history. And, it is costing us. The World Health Organisation identifies stress as the second leading cause of disability worldwide costing the world economy US $ 287,956,200,000.00 every year.

Stress is also harmful to our physical and psychological health. Unmanaged stress is now known to be the second leading cause of cardiovascular disease and can increase the risk of dying from a heart attack by 250 percent. Psychologically, stress is related to anxiety, depression and work absenteeism. ‘Thriving! Positive Energy at Work for Leaders’ is a full-day highly informative and interactive workshop that helps participants identify how stress is affecting them and learn specific methods to transform the negative energy of stress into the positive energy of thriving by learning how to:

Discharge stress from your body and mind

Develop vitality through the mindful movement exercise of FlowMotion

Embrace your positive emotions by learning self-compassion

Increase your positive mental energy by discovering and maximizing your strengths

Envision your ‘best self’ through developing your best-self portrait.
