About Seminar

Project Manager is no doubt one of the most stressful jobs out there as the PM is directly responsible and accountable for the success or failure of a project. With deadlines, cost pressure and competitive marketplace, projects are getting more and more stressful day by day. To perform at high-cognitive levels, project managers need to have distinct stress-reduction strategies that they can apply in the workplace.

Coping with the high stress may not be easy. Some PMs may believe that they can handle and cope with the high level of stress however if it persists over a long time, it may affect project performance and result into breakdowns. Ignoring or refuse to recognize that I am under stress may be detrimental to my health and performance.

The experience of stress is not only impacting the cognitive and behavioral performance, it can also have a negative impact on personal health, wellbeing, and family life. I might not able to change the circumstances that are causing stress, but I can change how I take it and deal with it. It is important to manage the stress before it becomes more and more difficult to handle and start impacting myself and my project performance.
