Stress Management - Brisbane

Outline for Courses: Coping with Stress Course Brisbane

Course Overview

G'day everyone! I'm Dr Marcus Clarkson and for over 20 years I've been serving Australians, stripping them of their relationship with stress at work. Not just, like, tell you to "take a deep breath" but the things that actually do work in the heat of the moment.

Having trained thousands of professionals throughout Brisbane and around the world, I know one thing stress management is not about removing pressure from your job. That's impossible in today's workplace. It's not about journeying to an alternate version of Earth or joining a team of mutants who fight for peace and justice, but rather about acquiring the techniques to deal with pressure well enough to save both your on the job performance and your sanity.

This seamless system synthesises proven methods and practical applications. You're going to find out not only what to do but how to apply these strategies, on short notice, when you're already overwhelmed. We concentrate on sustainable practices that are applicable to real work life, not on theoretical which fall apart when it's game time.
