Description
Crisis management involves making difficult decisions, often under time- and/or political pressure, having little information and dealing with uncertain circumstances. In other words: acting during crises means party time for your stress hormones.
While stress has its short-term positive effects (e.g. increased focus and productivity), it is often perceived as something negative, that gets in the way of effective problem solving and decision making. In this workshop we’ll learn how to benefit more from stress, by recognizing your stressors and focussing on how to manage your (and your colleagues!) acute stress responses. This involves practical tools and techniques which are easy to use in the heat of a crisis. Or even in the workshop itself, as we will end the workshop with a short crisis simulation where you and your team will be challenged by dilemmas, distractions and a constant changing environment… will you be able to keep focus, awareness and a steady heartbeat?
So keep calm, it’s just some (short-term) stress that is coming for you!
