I am a trainer and coach, and work with groups and individuals in how to prevent and manage stress; how to develop and maintain resilience; how to be emotionally intelligent; how to make the most of ourselves personally and professionally and live our best lives. I support individuals/staff to make the most of themselves and maximise performance.
My training interventions for staff and managers support the business to promote wellbeing and ensure that we are better able to recognise, identify and deal with the causes of stress, and thereby improve individual and organisational performance.
For the organisation, this means supporting you to promote a positive culture/positive behaviours and perform more efficiently; cut the costs associated with poor performance and sick absence; have a more engaged, effective and productive workforce; comply with the law; have a workforce that is better able to cope with change and uncertainty; communicate well/have less conflict
I have been training and developing people for over 30 years through roles in workplace counselling, stress management, coaching, training and teaching.

'Stress Management Plus gave a session to Sisters from Clinical Support Services at the Royal Berks Hospital. The session was very useful and light hearted. The session made people think about how stress affects their lives and how you can do something small to make a big change. I would recommend Stress Management Plus to other companies, very good for a medium sized group such as ourselves'.
