Workplace stress can be triggered from many sources, including feeling that there is too much to do with not enough time, dealing with a difficult co-worker. When combined with pressures and responsibilities outside of work, it is no wonder that people experience high levels of stress both at work and at home. Some stressful events are commonly experienced across a large group; others are unique to individuals.

Learning Objectives:

• Define stress and the fight/flight response
• Identify personal stressors and symptoms
• Develop strategies to increase personal resiliency

There's plenty of room and refreshments provided!

Duration: 12 noon - 1 p.m.

Facilitator: Judy Lenahan-Leighton, Shepell-fgi

Event: Humber/IPAC Symposium: Shifting Gears, Innovations and Transformation in International Development

Dates: June 14 & 15, 2012.

The symposium will address these basic questions:

1.What forces are causing the significant changes in International Development over the past few years?

2.How is International Development likely to evolve over the next decade?

3.What are the implications for senior managers and board members in organizations that deliver aid programs, services and projects?

4.What are the innovative approaches aid groups are using to adapt to the changing environment? and

5.What does this mean for International Development career paths? 

This theme should resonate with Humber�۪s NGO stakeholder community and appeal to senior people in a cross section of Canadian and international NGOs, private sector companies, governments and multilateral organizations involved in international development.
