Synopsis

For project managers, the impact of COVID-19 on operations has been catastrophic. A reliance on remote work has obstructed the collaborative approaches often seen within a traditional team environment. Lockdowns and border closures have caused a major disruption to supply chains, and the risk of operating a business and managing projects have skyrocketed. Stress in projects dis-empowers project managers and the team members. It creates illness, weakens communication, drains creativity, impairs project teamwork, and saps productivity. We cannot escape from or avoid the reality of today’s rapidly and suddenly changing, competitive, hi-tech project environment. The challenge is to restore a sense of power and control in our work lives. The SOLUTION is to equip ourselves with new beliefs, attitudes, and skills to not only survive but also thrive in this workplace reality with lesson learnt from Covid-19.

Course Objectives

The workshop identifies empowering strategies squarely which address underlying causes of stress in today’s project environments. It offers prevention and intervention strategies as well as ways to cope with the stress. Relaxation exercise will be introduced in the workshop. The facilitator will skillfully blend entertaining style and impacting experiential techniques to create a “safe “and “friendly” learning environment. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Define their own personal stress triggers and demonstrate awareness of underlying causes of stress
• Apply healthy communication tools to diffuse hostility and tension with the experienced learnt from Covid-19
• Stress reduction strategies in facing extremely high pressures
Audience
• Project Managers, Team Leaders moving into team leadership positions
• Key Team Members, Functional Managers
• PMPs aiming at gaining PDU
