This one runs as an interactive workshop: the hour includes exercises your colleagues do themselves, not only a talk.
We are suddenly driven into a rapidly changing world. The uncertainty, the changes in everyone's work / life balance, the workload and the personal challenges have significantly increased the stress we encounter as individuals and in our teams.
But how do you deal with stress in a team? We don't always have control over all the bad things that happen to us, but we can control how we react to them. In this session, Kilian explains how we can cope with stress and reveal techniques to control our emotions based on hard scientific evidence, followed by a Q&A.
During the expert session, Kilian engages the audience through a Q&A session, live demonstrations of mindfulness practices, and interactive exercises using the Mentimeter app. These activities help participants explore the impact of social connections on well-being, learn effective coping mechanisms for managing stress and burnout, and discuss strategies for maintaining relationships in remote work environments.
Maintaining social connections is vital for overall well-being and happiness. In a remote work setting, consistent communication and regular check-ins with colleagues are essential to ensure everyone's emotional health.
Young adults, singles, and older adults may face more difficulties adapting to remote work due to the absence of in-person interactions. Employers should prioritize creating hybrid work environments that allow individuals to strike a balance between working from home for personal freedom and maintaining connections with their team members.
Regularly assessing your emotional state and addressing potential stressors before they escalate is crucial in preventing burnout. Prioritizing self-care activities, setting realistic goals, and practicing mindfulness techniques are effective ways to enhance overall well-being and improve resilience.
In this expert session, Kilian Wawoe leads a thought-provoking discussion on managing stress within teams, specifically focusing on the challenges posed by remote work. The conversation explores various strategies to identify and alleviate stress, including prioritization, regular check-ins, and creating a transparent team culture.
Kilian begins by diving into the complex relationship between stress and the human brain, emphasizing the importance of understanding the root cause to effectively manage it. He highlights that stress can originate from any part of our brain – reptilian, emotional, or neocortex – and discusses how each region responds differently.
He shares examples of how simple stimuli can trigger a stress response, bypassing the neocortex entirely. In modern society, information overload can lead to chronic stress, which can negatively impact our cognitive abilities and emotional regulation, eventually causing various health issues or even death.
Burnout situations often result in an ineffective neocortex, leading to chaotic behavior and further exacerbating emotional dysregulation.
As the conversation progresses, Kilian emphasizes the importance of a coach's role in guiding individuals towards finding their own solutions rather than imposing them. When dealing with someone experiencing stress, empathy and understanding are crucial before suggesting healthy coping mechanisms like regular exercise, proper nutrition, and social support.
The topic of mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing, arises as an effective method for managing stress and anxiety. Additionally, practicing gratitude and engaging in joyful activities contribute significantly to maintaining overall well-being.
Symptoms of burnout or stress include feeling overwhelmed, lacking motivation, exhaustion, and physical and emotional disconnection. To prevent or manage these conditions, prioritizing self-care, setting realistic goals, practicing mindfulness, and seeking support are essential.
The conversation briefly touches upon the concept of positive psychology, focusing on enhancing well-being, happiness, and personal growth rather than addressing mental health issues directly.
Throughout the session, Kilian stresses the importance of maintaining social connections and relationships for overall well-being. He acknowledges that remote work may make it more challenging to maintain these connections and emphasizes the need for consistent communication and checking in on colleagues.
The session concludes by highlighting the significance of hybrid work environments where individuals can strike a balance between working from home and maintaining team connections.
The opportunity for participants to ask questions and engage further is available at the end of this expert session.
From the survey every participant gets when the session ends, in their own words.
I enjoyed the presentation so much that I’d like additional 20-30min for Q&A. Mr Wawoe’s lecture was insightful, interesting and brought a new point of view to my thinking. I’d like to thank him for that.
It confirmed a lot of thoughts I had. Expressing with others and just speak about things that are not going well. It is extremely powerful, thank you for confirming this, among others.
First of all I would like to thank you giving this lecture and making us think about this subject which can be applied to many aspect of our daily life. Most importantly you touched a very important aspect which is communication and the ability to open up
How to cope better with working from home. I loved the point on how we now only communicate with our colleagues with an agenda. Unbelievably accurate. Another step to becoming a robot! Something that I will address going forward for sure.
Resilience within teams is not about "you" (actually me), its about us! Thanks a lot!
It is about us! Fantastic insights. Thank you so much.
Interesting need for being a group Thank you
Thank you ! Time very very well spent
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
We are suddenly driven into a rapidly changing world. The uncertainty, the changes in everyone's work / life balance, the workload and the personal challenges have significantly increased the stress we encounter as individuals and in our teams. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.
Kilian Wawoe is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.2 out of 5, across 407 responses, and rate Kilian personally 4.4 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Kilian, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English, Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
