Workshop Leadership Skills March 8

Wednesday 8 March 2017 13:00 - 16:00

The Female Faculty Network Twente invites you to the workshop: Leadership skills: dealing with pressure and stress on March 8, from 13.00 till 16.00 hrs. in Horst Room W121 

After the workshop you are invited to join the celebration for the International Women’s Day in the Olijftuin in the Zuidhorst. More information will follow soon. 

WORKSHOP

Deadlines, growing responsibilities, the amount of work as such, other people claiming your attention, creating time for networking, building on a future career, having a private life… 

Proceeding your career, it’s inevitable you will need to learn how to deal with pressure, and the stress it may cause. Although the external stress factors may be similar, and the way humans react to stressfull situations shows patterns, we all do have our unique ways to react.  And we need to find out how to deal with it personally. 

FOR WHOM

FFNT members and any academic staff members interested in how successful work-life balance can be achieved at the University of Twente.

HOW

This practical, hands on workshop is set up as a ‘laboratory’ in which you will analyze, research and explore what brings you stress and pressure, how it shows up, and what you can do to reduce it and deal with it. You will learn from others, share knowledge and experience. Active participation. Practical exploration in exercises. Follow up: there’s an opportunity for getting a follow up coaching session online.

BACKGROUND

Exercises are based on neuroscientific research (Pittman and Karle), practical wisdom from martial arts and holistic health(Aikido, mindfulness, Qi Gong), tacit, embodied knowledge from the theatre (my original profession), theory and practice from the field of leadershiptraining (ao Steven Covey), and new science on integral leadership and dealing with increasing complexity (Spiral Dynamics Integral, Integral Theory/Wilber) plus the necessary self-development, growth of consciousness and change of mindset that’s connected to it (ao Peter Merry, Dylan Newcomb, and the program that Arielle Brouwer developed on SelfChange).


RESULT

After the workshop you will have increased insight in what causes you stress and a feeling of pressure, what your favorite ways are to react on it, and you have learned, tried out and chosen for yourself a couple of tools for dealing with your stress and pressure that can directly be applied in practice.
