"During a particularly busy period for our largest team, I noticed some of the tell tale signs of stress - irritability, staff working longer hours and productivity declining. It wasn't just the team with the deadline, who were affected. There was an increase in people asking me for input on decisions, which impacted on my work.

We needed the team to know that the company understood the issues they faced and wanted them to recognise that they could be in control much more by working smarter.

We asked Potential to run a series of seminars for all levels of the organisation focusing specifically on Stress Management and Time Management. We later ran focus groups covering Influencing and Negotiating Skills supplemented with one to one coaching sessions for those staff that requested it.

The effect of the programme was immediate. For many, it was as though a burden had been lifted as they realised that their difficulties had not been due to some personal shortcomings and that others faced the same challenges. A much more proactive approach is noticeable and the confidence to problem solve has been boosted. The difference in some people is remarkable."
