Managing Stress During the Holiday Season

As the holiday season approaches, stress can intensify, impacting mental and physical health. This interactive workshop equips employees with effective tools for monitoring stress levels and applying practical interventions to reduce it. Backed by research, participants will explore how holiday stress affects the body and mind and learn accessible methods for finding balance during this busy time.

Why It Matters

Research shows that chronic stress can lead to serious health risks, including cardiovascular disease, weakened immunity, and mental health challenges. This workshop empowers participants to actively manage stress, enhancing overall resilience and productivity during the holiday season.

Learning Objectives

Identify personal stress triggers and learn effective techniques to manage and reduce them in daily life. Practice mindfulness and other self-care strategies to maintain well-being through seasonal demands.

Effective Habit Formation

New Year’s resolutions often fail because they rely on willpower rather than a strengths-based, sustainable approach. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to set achievable goals by leveraging their unique strengths. Focusing on building practical, effective habits, this workshop provides actionable skills that lead to enhanced personal and professional wellness.

Learning Objectives

Discover why most habit formation efforts fail and explore the research behind successful, strengths-based goal-setting.  Identify individual strengths that can be applied to new habit-building processes, improving the chances of long-term success. Develop a personalized habit formation plan with a clear structure and realistic milestones to support wellness and productivity.

Why It Matters

Studies reveal that habit formation aligned with personal strengths leads to increased success and satisfaction. This approach not only promotes mental well-being but also reduces burnout by building habits that feel natural and sustainable.
