Providing a powerful alternative to managing stress, with straightforward skills to improve Mental Health

Sue Evans is an author and speaker on keeping stress useful, building resilience and improving Mental Health; and a Fellow of the UK and Ireland Professional Speaking Association.

She's spent over 20 years taking waste out of processes and systems. While leading £Multi-Million Lean Transformations and embedding Operational Excellence in several global organisations, she gained a solid understanding of the challenges of changing behaviours, breaking out of the fire-fighting cycles, and building instead something which really works.

Managing stress takes time and energy (and there's not much to spare when someone's already stressed out). Slacken off the effort, and the stress builds again – and that's no long-term solution. The skills which Sue shares work without having to change what someone's doing. They're fast-acting, with lasting effects.

The sources of stress are countless, and its effects far reaching; but whether it's from workload or home pressures, impending change or current-state anxiety; every stress response starts out in the thinking.  Sue shares the skills to think differently – with practical insights and tips, easily applied to personal or work life.  The difference can be immediate.

Skills to Keep Stress Useful

This session can be presented as an interactive keynote, or longer hands-on workshop. Stress can be uncomfortable and disruptive, but not all stress is bad. It's a problem when the total amount you're facing exceeds your resources for dealing with it.

Below that problem threshold, those stresses can bring out your very best - the challenges you rise to and grow from, even if they're not ones you'd have chosen. The stresses which give you energy instead of draining it away.

Developing your Strategy for Stress Success

Stress is a given in any organisation.  Sometimes it gets in the way, and sometimes it drives even better performance.  What's stress costing your organisation?

On average, stress and mental health issues cost UK employers over £1,300 per employee per year, and that's just the financial cost.  Add to that the additional mistakes and potential conflicts, the reduced flexibility and increased resistance to change....  Stress is complicated, and left unresolved, in...
