Understanding Self Management Skills

Manage yourself more effectively under pressure

What will you learn?

• Recognise how your behaviour influences other people.
• Consider ways to prioritise your workload and manage competing demands.
• Understand resilience and reflect on the factors that support your own resilience.
• Use reflection and practical models to identify habits you want to develop.
• Consider how peer support can help reduce professional isolation.

How will you learn?

"Thank you for the training today. I found it insightful and helpful. I learned a lot about myself, including more about anxiety, how to manage stress, the eight factors of resilience, and the XABC formula. I will also incorporate some of what I learned today into our team meetings and supervisions."
