it was the most useful training course I’ve ever attended at work. The session was very engaging and allowed the group to explore what stress meant to each of us, how it affects us in positive and negative ways, how it affects other people and how we can spot the signs of stress in our colleagues and offer help. We were shown great stress-reducing techniques which I use and it has dramatically changed the way I approach my day-to-day routine and my attitude to work for the better. I would strongly recommend this course, especially for anyone who manages people.’
