Dealing with Stress

Did two lunchtime talks on 'Dealing with Stress' for Standard Chartered Bank's parenting and caregivers network in July. 

From the great turnout for both sessions, it is a topic that's close to our hearts as we juggle our multiple roles in our daily lives. 







I think it is wonderful for the bank to initiate various networks to look after their employees' welfare. Kudos to the bank and to the volunteers who are on the planning committees!

At the same time, the bank and the organisers can initiate programmes but without the voluntary participation of the employees, it would be a waste of effort. 

  

I was really happy to observe the desire of the participants to equip themselves with tools and strategies to better their lives and those of their loved ones. 
Everybody's learning journey is different and some of the sharing covered during the talk might be familiar to some. Yet my desire is that even for those who have attended many of such talks, they leave mine with one or two golden nuggets that they can apply to their daily living.
