ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
As HR professionals, we spend our days navigating people, pressure, and problems where we often put everyone else's needs ahead of our own. Today, we're going to explore the science behind stress and conflict, uncover why even the best people sometimes react instead of respond.  You will leave with practical tools that you can use immediately at work, at home, and in every conversation that matters.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize how stress affects our nervous system, decision making, communication and relationships.
• Identify some personal and organizational triggers that contribute to stress that often leads to miscommunication, conflict and emotional reactivity.
• Apply practical strategies to help regulate stress, improve communication and navigate difficult conversations with greater confidence and composure.
• Develop simple, sustainable habits that reduce workplace stress, and strengthen resilience for better personal connections.
