How to Handle Stress

Stress-busting techniques to help you stay calm and effective in a pressurised workplace

Do things at work sometimes get on top of you? Do you find yourself getting anxious, flustered, irritable? Do you find it hard to leave your work problems behind and switch off when you get home?

If so, you’re not alone. In the UK, 13 million days are lost every year due to stress. And research suggests 70% of visits to the doctor and 85% of serious illnesses are stress – related. Stress at work affects people’s efficiency and productivity, their relationships with colleagues, their morale and, most importantly, their health. But can you reduce stress if you work in a pressurised environment?

This session will show how it can be done. It will provide you with tips and techniques to help you:
  • recognise the causes of stress and how to avoid them
  • identify the symptoms of stress and deal with them at an early stage
  • understand how to manage your work to take some of the pressure off
  • use a range of techniques to stay calm at work and to switch off when you get home
Alan Matthews, Train of Thought (Back by popular demand!)

I've spent most of my adult life involved in teaching, training and coaching. I've a passion for helping people develop and succeed. I've helped thousands of individuals improve their management and communication skills. I have also helped them develop their personal skills, to become more confident, assertive and focused.

Before setting up Train of Thought, I worked for Deloitte, a world wide professional services firm, where I became Head of Skills Development for the UK Tax Practice. I was also a Senior Manager and a Tax Consultant, so I know what it's like to manage individuals and teams and to work closely with clients. I have years of experience in analysing learning needs and designing and delivering effective training solutions.

I've spoken to large conferences, run small workshops and worked one to one. I have run courses and seminars throughout the UK and in Europe. I have been a public speaker for over 30 years ( yes, I know it's hard to believe, but I started young ). I'm an accredited coach and now help to train others in coaching skills. I've written numerous articles, booklets and e-books. I've also appeared on the radio several times.

Before joining Deloitte I was an Inspector of Taxes for a few years ( we all make mistakes, I don't want to talk about it ). Before that I was a Primary Teacher for 8 years, teaching English As A Second Language to 4 and 5 year olds. I'm a keen guitarist. I've played in public since I was 17 ( that's where I learned a lot about handling audiences ). 

I support Middlesbrough, so I know the effect that a lack of basic skills can have on a team.
