Seminars

For Employees of TU Braunschweig

Mental performance is not only shaped by stress but also by targeted recovery. In this workshop, you will learn how stress affects the nervous system and why a lack of recovery can lead to exhaustion, decreased concentration, and sleep problems.

The seminar covers key neurobiological principles as well as proven methods for effectively managing energy, focus, and resilience in your daily work routine. You will learn specific micro-recovery strategies that can be implemented immediately without requiring any additional time.

The goal of the seminar is to sustainably stabilize your own performance and to deal with stress and recovery more consciously.

For Employees of TU Braunschweig

Our daily work is often characterized by a wide range of demands and never-ending to-do lists. Resources are a person’s potential—for example, qualities, positive memories, experiences, and strengths that we are often not even aware of. Resources help us cope with stress, achieve our goals, and improve our well-being.

In this workshop, we will explore different types of resources and train our awareness of what can actually be perceived as a resource. The goal is to (re)discover your own resources so you can navigate challenging times with greater composure.

Contents:

Becoming aware of your own resources
Strengthening self-esteem
Mindful use of resources – addressing needs
Activating resources
