Corporate Talks / Workshops

In today’s fast-paced and stress-filled corporate world, employees are often pushed to their creative and stress limits, leading to increasingly stressful working environments. While the stress response is a natural mechanism designed to protect us from danger, it’s essential to distinguish between good and bad stress to foster a healthier work environment.

During moments of stress, the Sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is activated, triggering a chemical response that prepares the body for action. However, in environments where stress is constant, individuals can remain in a heightened state of alertness, which, if prolonged, may have detrimental effects on the body. This prolonged exposure to stress can manifest in symptoms such as accelerated heartbeat, increased blood pressure, release of adrenaline and glucose, and decreased digestive function, among others.

Continued exposure to these symptoms can disrupt the body’s balance, leading to feelings of irritability, burnout, and ultimately, contributing to various health problems. These negative effects not only impact individuals but can also affect the overall corporate ecosystem. Therefore, understanding and managing stress in the workplace is crucial for fostering a healthier and more productive environment for all.

Brigitte offers a specialized program aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of stress and providing tools to effectively manage its effects on the body within the work environment. Through this program, members of the workforce can develop valuable skills that activate the relaxation response, promoting a healthier emotional, mental, and physical state.

By embracing the natural relaxation response, individuals gently connect with the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, fostering a sense of calm and well-being. When employees are attuned to this response, they can access their internal reservoirs of resilience, leading to a more creative and relaxed working environment for all.
