Online: Stress-free management

Manage without letting your emotions get the best of you

A lot is expected of a manager and as the manager you constantly face situations and people that give rise to certain emotions or stress. You are (partly) responsible for things where you have no or no direct influence. Fortunately there are plenty of areas that you can assert some influence.

Everyone has emotions, whether you are used to showing them or not. Everyone also experiences stress at some point. Maybe in your work environment it's strange or even unthinkable to show these emotions as a manager. That doesn't mean that you don't have them and you still have to deal with them.

In this learning journey we zoom in on your emotions and behavior at work, with examples an exercises related to your situation. When you understand how things work, you can apply your new skills. This will allow you to manage without getting in the way of yourself.

For whom?
What and how

Do you absolutely dread performance evaluations or discussions involving bad news? Do you constantly wonder what your team members think of you? Do you always try to maintain a good working environment? And then find yourself stressed out? If so, this learning journey is just what you need.

Start this online wourse when you sometimes have to cope with stressful work situations. When your feelings get the upper hand and you don't behave as you'd like. Or when you become angry, irritated, or just miserable. When you can't let go of emotions or worry too much, or constantly blame yourself. When you feel you really struggle and have to deal with a lot of negative energy. It's time to do something about it.

And you can. You can take control of your emotions. Do you want to overcome your fear of failure and let go of negative emotions? RET (Rational Effectiveness Training) is a very effective method that can help you.

What will I learn?
A manager can help employees get less worked up in certain situations. In order to assess the value of emotions at work it's important that you first understand how irrational thoughts operate. Only then can you bring up the subject of recognizing emotions with your colleagues. This stress management for managers learning journey will teach you how it works, and to tackle the issue more effectively. Then it won't be so much of a problem for you and your uncertainty will decrease. You'll learn to view situations systematically by gaining insight into your own thoughts and their impact. The main goal of the RET method is changing yourself by changing your thoughts. External influences can cause stress, but you are the most decisive factor with regard to your stress. The basic principle is: not the situations themselves but the way you think about those situations determine how you feel and how you behave.

What will I do?
You're going to apply RET in management situations. Real change, naturally, requires practice. With trial and error. The more you challenge yourself and practice, the better the result. In this learning journey you'll learn to guard against the pitfalls. You'll be applying the RET method in 'real life', so that you'll be able to cope better with potentially stressful situations. You'll be introduced to the basic principles, learn all about the basic emotions, and how they come into play in RET. We will also discuss the related basic terms that play a major role in practice.

Manage without getting in the way of yourself
