A personal coaching intervention with a stress management specialist, however, overcomes these difficulties by making the individual feel valued.
STAFF COACHING AND STRESS MANAGEMENT
A session can begin with an informal one-on-one assessment of the needs of the individual, taking the needs of the organisation into account. The individual's goals can be achieved through a carefully designed series of questions in order to fully understand any issues that he or she is experiencing.
Only then can an initial assessment be made as to what form the stress management help will take.

While watching Face the Nation one Sunday earlier this year, Bob Schiffer discussed the airline industry, his mother and ethics in business. Like Bob, I think it is a sad commentary today, that we have to police businesses. Whatever happened to going into business to provide a needed service, being loyal to employees, and keeping promises. It seems like no one today is concerned about doing good business or being ethical in the process. Our forefathers would be ashamed at what this society has come to. I know I am. Chuck and I teach our students how to run a good business, by being ethical, and making sure that everyone is happy. We run our business using the adage, “The customer is always right”. We know, however, from looking at others in business both on and offline, that we are in the minority. For most it is all about making money. They don’t care who they have to step on, how many lies they tell, just “sh
Whether it's the pressure of dealing with tight budgets or preparing for the next board meeting, executive stress can have a negative impact on your performance, decisions and focus.
In today's competitive marketplace, stress suffered by key executives and CEOs can lead to underperformance, lack of motivation, procrastination and lack of stamina and concentration. Worse still, this pressure will affect much more than personal achievement; ultimately the efficiency and development of the whole company can be compromised.
"Common stress inducers are excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines and targets and 'blame cultures'."
WHAT CAUSES STRESS?
Stress is a reaction to a perceived threat that is either real or imagined. 75%-90% of employee visits to hospitals are stress related. In fact, stress has been strongly linked with many ailments such as hypertension, heart attacks, allergies, backache, skin disorders, anxiety, high blood pressure, headaches and migraines.
Commonly accepted stress inducers within the workplace are excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines and targets and a 'blame culture' within the company. Stress that is allowed to build within a corporate environment can lead to 'executive burnout', a condition that is primarily caused by how an individual perceives a situation.
Today's society dictates that many of us need to work longer hours in order to keep up with ever-increasing performance targets, but society also needs to remember that the body can only take so much before stress before burnout sets in. Early signs of impending burnout include:
• Anger at those making demands
• Cynicism, negativity and irritability
• Exploding easily at inconsequential things
• Frequent headaches or migraines
• Weight loss or gain
• Insomnia and depression
• Shortness of breath
• Extreme tiredness and fatigue
• Heart palpitations
• Butterflies in the stomach
• Inability to focus
By giving staff the skills they need to perform effectively under pressure, you can help them deal with stress and anxiety, be more positive and committed, and transform their personal beliefs and values to enable your business to grow to its fullest potential.
Unfortunately, however, it is often difficult for a business to run an in-house training programme for key staff whose role does not allow them the time to attend.
INVESTING IN YOUR EMPLOYEES
Most companies understand the need to invest in their employees' welfare, since this approach has tangible benefits in terms of staff retention.
"75%-90% of employee visits to hospitals are stress related."
However, an individual may not suit a group environment, either due to his or her position within the company or because of the perceived stigma of being singled out for special attention. Such a delicate process can often involve office politics, as well, which means that the individual's reaction may be one of being victimised rather than being helped, which will only escalate the feelings of stress.

No matter what type of industry you work in, no matter what level of position you currently hold, if you want to move up to a more fulfilling position with more pay and opportunity, there are three things you can do right now to grow your career. In my opinion, these three actions are “secrets” only because most women don’t do them consciously and deliberately. You can be different. You can have a Bodacious Career because you’ve decided to be proactive and in charge of you career.Here are the three secrets to getting a promotion:1. Perform in your existing job. There's no way around it. Outstanding performance helps you get noticed and conveys confidence that you can do more. Think of it this way: would you promote someone who isn’t already performing well in their current position? Likely not. But, keep in mind, performing well is the “ante” into the game. It doesn’t guarantee you’ll get noticed, especial

America may be the Land of Opportunity, but this is also the land of the Big Trade-Off. Sure, you can have that nice house, but you’re going to have to become a mortgage slave to keep it. You can drive that fancy sports car, but you’ll have to fork over an insurance premium as hefty as the GNP of some Third World nations. In the Bible it says, in life, if you want honey, you get bees with stingers. For anything worth having, there’s price to pay.It’s the same with a career. Most professional positions require experience, but in this classic Catch-22, how does a young college student or graduate gain that experience? Well, it’s just as Mark Twain said, “Never let school interfere with our education.”I believe the intern programs in place at companies like Coca-Cola, Proctor & Gamble, CBS, and mine provide the best chance for young people to enter and grow in many

number seven in a series taken from:How to Evaluate and Profit from a Business Opportunity - The Entrepreneur's GuideWhen you start looking at an opportunity you will begin accumulating information about the business. Some of the information may be provided by the seller, some by the seller's agent if there is one, some from the industry's association, some from other research you do, some from competitors and customers, and some from employees.Besides the hard facts; sales, costs, profits, market coverage, etc., you need to look for differences in the facts -- red flags, warnings that will prompt you to look further at specific points. What you want to see is confirmation of the situation.For example if everything presented shows the business as being in great shape, but the suppliers tell you that they don't get paid on time and when they call they always wind up talking to somebody new who makes pr

Before sticking your head into one of the many consignment thrift shops around, there are some words and phrases that can be good to have defined. Many times people are confused by terms such as consignment, thrift and resale. What is the difference. Lets take a look at that.One could argue that all shops that sell more or less used consumer goods are resale shops, but it is possible to clarify the distinctions here. A thrift shop is owned by a not for profit organisation. A consignment shop takes your merchandise and when it is sold you receive usually between 40-60% of the sales price. The so called resale shops on the other hand often buy the goods straight up front from the original owner, then sell it.Lets look at some more terminology that will most likely prove itself useful when you enter consignment and thrift shops.A closeout means liquidated merchandise that the wholeseller is no long manufacturin

"When we learn to manage stress we can teach our brains to react with intent rather than through instinct."
Undervalued, overworked personnel won't help your business to be more cost effective. Employers offering an 'Employee Assistance Programme' (EAP) are valued by their staff.
This commitment to staff development can also be an important part of the recruitment process offered as an inducement in the individual's health and wellbeing as a valued member of the team.
When we are highly stressed, we act and react instinctively. Anger often surfaces because we feel threatened or just plain worn out.

TOP TEN TIPS TO BEAT CORPORATE STRESS
1. Learn to delegate: you can only do so much in a day. Spread the workload and spread the responsibility.
2. Learn to say 'no'. Often in a busy work environment you are called upon to do work that you are not experienced in, or in an area where you lack training. Learn to say 'no' and keep your stress levels low.
3. If you are in a poor physical working environment, perhaps the office is too hot or cold, it will make you stressed (as you either freeze or swelter). Either turn the air con on or turn the heating up. You will work better and be more productive if you are comfortable.
4. Plan your day; nothing causes more stress than unexpected events. Plan each day with prioritised tasks and stick to them.
5. Learn to switch off for a 15-minute power break each day. Just a 15-minute break will refresh you and lower your stress levels.
6. Avoid caffeine. Although coffee, tea, and other caffeinated drinks taste great, caffeine raises your heart rate and anxiety levels. Drink water instead. Dehydration can lead to migraines and headaches and an inability to concentrate
7. Take regular exercise. If you live within 15 minutes of work try walking or cycling instead of driving. If you live further away go to the gym at least once a week or walk at least 30minutes a day. You will get fit, increase the oxygen in your blood, and be more alert.
8. Keep your sense of humour. Smile. At the end of the day no problem is so great it's worth risking a heart attack over.
9. Introduce monthly stress buster meetings. Sit down with each employee and discuss how things are going. This approach will help cut stress because people
