Strategies for Reducing Stress: Learning How to Manage Workflow
Mark and Ann Ide, New Possibilities Coaching
Much of the work we do is experienced as a long list of unstructured tasks we need to complete. It’s all too easy to become overwhelmed and fall into stress from having to keep track of everything, having too much to do, and dealing with setbacks and frustrations.
In this workshop, you will learn an easy, leading-edge methodology known as Commitment-based Management that will give you a structure and process for:
· How to make more effective requests and promises to ensure that everyone is fully satisfied with the results.
· Capacity planning to prevent overload
· How to say “No” and still get everyone’s concerns taken care of
· A tool to more easily manage all commitments for individuals and teams
Using Commitment-based management will:
· Give you extra motivation and a sense of fulfillment by connecting every task you do to a meaningful “why”.
· Create a greater sense of productivity and satisfaction at the end of each day.
· Provide a single view for managing complex projects, making it easier and less stressful for you to take care of everyone’s concerns more efficiently and effectively without being over your capacity.
· Reduce the number of setbacks and frustrations.
· Increase cooperation and co-ordination among colleagues.
· Enhance the potential for requests being satisfactorily fulfilled.
Please note that a telephone conference follow-up is scheduled for November 7 at 11 a.m. The Ides will provide details at the October workshop.

Focus on Resilience
Pat Touzin, Director, Faculty/Staff Assistance Program, Human Resources
Did you know that unmitigated stress may result in physical and psychological poor health? That between 60 and 90 % of medical visits involve stress-related illness? Why do some people exhibit building blocks of resilience: the human capacity to face, overcome, be strengthened by, and even be transformed by experiences of adversity? This workshop focuses, first, on the characteristics, qualities and behaviors of people who do not become ill or overwhelmed by adversity and severe stress. You will then have the opportunity to explore applications of this information to your own work and personal life.
