Stress Management

Stress is a fact of life in today's working environment - each of us is under tremendous pressure from the people we work for (and in many cases the people we work with) to produce results.

...each of us was born as a prince/princess, but the process of growing up turned us into a frog.

Communications

Often, we can be in a situation where we feel pressurised into taking on even more work when we already have more work than we feel comfortable with.

Management have become very good at making unreasonable demands appear to be very reasonable.

There are three rules of communications. Having this knowledge allows you to identify when people are trying to manipulate you, which means you don't get stressed out trying to do too much.

The Stroke Economy

Another source of stress in the workplace is where you do a really good piece of work, but don't get any recognition for it.

In this context, the word 'stroke' is a measure of the amount of recognition you give or get. You could get strokes for who you are, or for what you've done.

The 'stroke economy' is a way of looking at the quantity and quality of strokes you give and get.

Having that knowledge gives you the option of getting high-value strokes from unexpected places, and that feels good!

Games

We've all been in the situation where we have thought, "Why does this keep happening to me?". People play games all the time, but they don't know they are doing it.

The bizarre thing about games is, both players end up feeling bad! This means that games are another source of stress.

Once you know about game theory, you will know how to avoid the unpleasant outcomes.

Scripts

Each of us was born as a prince/princess, but the process of growing up turned us into a frog. Each of us decided on a script very early in life, and it tells us how to be a frog.

Frogs get stressed out because they aren't being true to the prince/princess they actually are.

Once you work out what your script is, you can avoid the stress of trying to be a frog.

Personality Types

There are six basic personality types, and you can learn how to spot someone's type within seconds of meeting them.

This gives you a whole host of information about their preferred style of communication, strokes, games and script.

This means that you don't end up being controlled by them.
