Information from the organisers

Starting a business means opportunities, ideas and creative freedom – but at the same time, it often brings uncertainty, pressure to make decisions and many invisible tasks running in the background. In this workshop, you will learn about the triggers and types of stress involved, why stress is frequently underestimated in the day-to-day life of a start-up, and how you can deal with it more resiliently in the long term. There is a particular focus on mental and emotional work – in other words, all the thoughts, responsibilities and expectations that often remain unseen but can drain your energy over time. Alongside theoretical insights, you can expect practical exercises and periods of reflection – ranging from technologies for acute stress situations, through resource management in everyday life, to long-term stress prevention in the interplay between the individual, the team and the environment. The aim is to develop your own sustainable approach to managing stress. 

The following topics, amongst others, will be covered and practised:

  • Stress in the day-to-day life of a start-up: recognising triggers, types of stress and underestimated pressures 
  • Mental and emotional work: reflecting on unseen thoughts, responsibilities and expectations 
  • Dealing with acute stress: practical techniques and exercises for stressful situations 
  • Resilience & stress prevention: resource management and sustainable ways of dealing with stress at individual, team and organisational levels

Please note: This workshop is interactive. This means that you will not just be listening, but will also have the opportunity to reflect and get actively involved.
