Are you are experiencing intense stress right now? Do you have a challenging job with a punishing workload, intense demands and over-tight deadlines? Or perhaps your boss or clients just keep piling on the pressure? Maybe problems with your coworkers or your team are making your life a misery, or perhaps you are just not getting the support you need?

 

Or are you are increasingly exhausted as the things you enjoy about your job are submerged in a relentless flood of humdrum demands?

 

The Solution to Many of Your Problems

Mind Tools’ Stress Management Masterclass helps you tackle many of these problems at root. Where you have some control over the situation, it helps you to target the causes of stress quickly and effectively. Where you have no control, it helps you build robust buffers against stress.

 

You’ll learn how better to cope with pressure, win back control of your workload, improve working relationships, and live a happier, more relaxed life.

 

"I am thrilled with the material. It is and will always be a fantastic resource tool for me. I have diplomas in Stress Management and Advanced Stress Management but neither course really covered Workplace Stress in any useful detail. I work in Operations so stress is a genuine concern for me. I am sure I will see the rewards from having worked my way though the Masterclass material."

Overcoming Work Overload - And Bringing Joy Back Into Your Life

The first modules give you an understanding of what stress is, and help you pin-point the sources of stress in your life. You can then quickly target the most important sources of stress for early attention.

Next, you learn how to manage much of the stress that comes with work overload. You’ll find out how to distinguish the essential tasks that you must complete from the distractions that contribute to overload. You’ll discover ways to balance conflicting time demands, correct job design flaws, develop focus and efficiency and, through this, regain control of your workload. You’ll then learn how to identify inconsistencies and structural problems within your job that can cause huge problems. Once identified, these become much easier to resolve.

 

A side effect of these modules is that you learn to be more effective and productive in your work – this can only enhance your career. With your job under control you can win back your leisure time, spend more time with friends and family, and do the things that bring real joy to your life.

Taking The Stress Out Of Working Relationships

The next modules help you deal with stress coming from other people.

 

In 'Working with Powerful People', you learn how to fairly defend your rights, protect your free time, handle seemingly unreasonable demands, and manage the complex politics of a challenging role. These skills will win you respect in the workplace, and mark you out as someone who can maturely and positively handle difficult situations.

 

The team stress module gives you useful new skills for resolving stressful conflict with your coworkers and your team. Backed by practical exercises, you’re introduced to the latest techniques for correcting structural problems within teams and working smoothly with team members. You’ll learn issue resolution techniques for your mutual satisfaction. You’ll discover skills that help you work harmoniously with coworkers, reasonably defend your rights, manage unreasonable demands and, in doing so, become a valued member of a happy, effective and successful team.

 

"[The Stress Management Master-class] is something I wish I had all those years ago when I first entered the workforce. All the hard lessons I had to quickly learn are all covered in this book but, more so, there are some techniques that I wish I had known, especially in the negative to positive section."

Surviving the Stress You Can't Avoid

As you would expect, the Stress Management Masterclass thoroughly explains the important topics of performance stress management, minimizing environmental stress, use of relaxation techniques, and building buffers against stress with changes to your lifestyle.

 

These help you to perform well under pressure, relax when under unavoidable stress, and eliminate the background irritations that 'niggle' away at us, increasing our experience of stress.


From Negative Thinking to Self-Confidence

But as well as this, you’ll learn important rational- and positive-thinking skills. These help you to see the good within situations as well as the bad, and spot opportunities in the difficulties that arise.

 

You’ll also learn Emotional Analysis and Cognitive Restructuring – new and useful stress management tools. With Emotional Analysis you learn to use your emotions as the powerful ‘’early warning system” they are – this helps to alert you to problem situations before they become serious. With Cognitive Restructuring you learn to turn around the deep unhappiness that lies at the root of much stress.

 

Together, these skills help you to overcome much of the negative thinking that accompanies and sometimes even causes the experience of stress. They help you to move from unhappiness to a positive and self-confident frame of mind.

 

Finding Real Job Satisfaction
You’ll also learn to identify the things that give deep meaning to your work so that you can protect yourself against ill-health and burnout. Once you have identified these things, you'll know what you have to defend to protect the sense of fulfillment that is so important in a satisfying career.

 

You'll learn how to monitor yourself for burnout, and get help protecting yourself against it. All of these things help you keep alive the enthusiasm, energy and commitment to your job that bring real fulfillment - even when you're under pressure.

"I had been facing challenges in a new work environment which I was determined to overcome. I discovered the product The Stress Management Masterclass, but I had my misgivings since I stumbled upon it when searching on the web.

"What I like best about the Stress Management Masterclass are its user-friendly features. It was easy to read, easy to comprehend and included relevant exercises to apply key concepts."

"I am glad that I purchased and used the tools. I relied on the testimonials of past users to validate my decision to purchase it. It is still part of my working plan, so although it is still too early to tell, I am certainly clearer in my thinking about the challenges which have caused my great stress. I would recommend the Stress Management Masterclass to others dealing with stress in their lives."
