Dealing with stress more effectively

How do you react under pressure? Which signals do you recognize?

We all have developed our own ways of coping successfully with stressful situations. To protect ourselves and hide our insecurity. Some might react irritated or sarcastic in an exciting situation, where others remains too nice or tries to hide their discomfort by giggling nervously or talking too quickly.

To discover the reactions to stressful situations of your clients, coachees, participants, employees, or yourself in a very accessible way, we have developed the coaching cards; Stress! Do you recognize the signs?. Using the 50 beautifully illustrated coaching cards enables you to quickly identify your protection mechanisms. Use of the provided exercise included in the card deck, or with the help of the exercises you’ll find here on the website to get started more effectively with stressful situations.

Getting Confused

We’ve all had them before – those fuzzy moments where your brain just… won’t work. Where a mental fog seems to cloud your memory, slowing down your thoughts and making you feel disoriented.

Times where you’re just not as quick to react, your decisions aren’t up to their usual caliber, and goodness even knows where you left those car keys!

If you’ve been struggling to think straight, and you’re a bit confused about why you’re so confused, it may be that you’re going through some stress.

Read on to understand why pressure, worry, or little day-to-day strains can lead to confusion, and learn some useful tips to help you clear that mental fog.
