Understand what causes workplace stress and how it affects you, then apply practical techniques for managing workload, thinking patterns and wellbeing to stay effective under pressure.
Stress Management helps participants understand the difference between healthy pressure and harmful stress, recognize the early physical, emotional and behavioral signs, and identify the sources of stress in their own work. The course explains the body's stress response in accessible terms and introduces evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive reframing, relaxation and breathing techniques, time and priority management, setting boundaries and building resilience. It also considers how managers can recognize stress in their teams and create working conditions that reduce unnecessary pressure.
Sessions are supportive and practical. Participants complete a personal stress audit, try relaxation and reframing techniques during the course, and leave with a realistic personal action plan. The course is educational and is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological advice. Stress Management is available as a public course in Doha, live online, or as an in-house program for organizations that want to support employee wellbeing as part of their people strategy.
