Course Details
Periods of sustained change place continuous demands on attention, energy, and decision making. Over time, stress and overload reduce focus, impair judgment, and erode performance, even among highly capable professionals.
This course reframes resilience as a performance capability, not a personality trait or wellness activity. Participants learn how stress affects cognition, decision quality, and behavior, and how to manage pressure in ways that protect effectiveness rather than simply pushing through.
Rather than focusing on stress elimination or relaxation techniques, the course emphasizes practical strategies for managing cognitive load, maintaining clarity, and sustaining performance during prolonged periods of uncertainty and change.
Learning objectives:
- Explain how stress impacts attention, judgment, and performance
- Recognize early signs of cognitive overload and fatigue
- Identify common stress patterns in modern work environments
- Apply strategies to manage cognitive load and sustain focus
- Maintain decision quality under pressure
- Establish boundaries that protect effectiveness
- Support resilience in themselves and others during ongoing change
