This practical workshop, offered in a neutral and respectful setting, provides you with new techniques for handling stress and replenishing depleted vitality.
The stresses of the workplace are greater than ever. Technology not only makes our work environment more complex and faster, it also makes us accessible at all times.
In this “always on” state, we are expected to do more with less and do it faster than ever. A busy professional trying hard to keep up with such demands - often in the company of tired and unmotivated colleagues - is at high risk for a destructive dose of stress.
This practical workshop, offered in a neutral and respectful setting, provides you with new techniques for handling stress and replenishing depleted vitality.
By learning to manage your personal energy, you will be better equipped to cope with stress, take charge of your emotions, and manage difficult relationships and situations.
The workshop provides you with all the tools you need to nurture your own personal well-being in the workplace
Topics
The University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (The Institute), originally branded the Centre for Continuing Education, was established over 25 years ago to offer higher learning opportunities to private and public-sector professionals and the community at large in Ottawa.
Over the years, we developed and nurtured expertise, growing significantly in both course offerings and new specialty knowledge areas, outgrowing its original mandate.
In late 2018, our organization was rebranded as the Professional Development Institute. The previous designation no longer encapsulated the breadth and depth of current and future offerings nor did it reflect our expanded mandate and reach.
Our Mission:
The Institute has been recognized as mission critical to the University of Ottawa and at the forefront of professional development in Ottawa and beyond.
We have greatly diversified our programming, developed strategic partnerships with both government and private industry, offered event-based learning and conferences, established co-designed programs with key government sectors, and more.
The highly sought-after “Institute” designation is rarely granted by the University administration, and done so only after very careful consideration.
A rigorous approval process, involving the President, the Provost and the Vice-Presidents, must validate the rationale and justification for the use of the ‘Institute’ label.
The fact that we have been granted this distinguished designation is testimony to our organization, its accomplishments and its potential, and to the dedication and engagement of our staff and expert instructors.
Our approach is skills training to respond to stress more adaptively
This short course explores what stress is, as well as the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ stress, identifying its signs and symptoms, impact and practical tools to help beat it.
In this mental health workshop, participants learn how to manage these feelings, turning stressful situations into opportunities for collaboration.
This course is designed for beginners, although it is also open to those with some meditation experience.
The Stress Reduction Workshop offered through the ÉPIC Centre provides people with skills to reduce and better manage stress and thereby enjoy a healthy life for as long as possible.
