Wellbeing: Building Resilient and Effective Organisations

This one day course comprises a powerful blend of theory and practice including experimental learning, personal reflection, peer coaching and group work. This course will help managers understand and minimise some of the causes of stress in their teams and themselves.

Previous attendees on this course said:

"I feel stronger and more confident to deal with difficult situations."

"Understanding my own feelings and behaviour will help me to build better relationships with others".

For further information about this course, please take a look at our Wellbeing webpage.
