Hello and welcome to the Managing Pressure Positively masterclass.

This short programme is full of tools to help you manage your pressure more positively.

Managing pressure positively needs you to look at both sides of the equation: the demands vs the resources. This means balancing the work you are doing, your workload and the resources you have for handling it, physically and mentally.

Sometimes you can reduce the demands being made on you. Saying "No" may not make you popular but learning how to say "No" or to delegate effectively are skills well worth learning and I encourage you to prioritise that.

My goal in this masterclass is to give you more resources.

We explore how external, and internal, pressures can create stress and how to manage that. Some tools focus on managing external situations, other tools look at mindset and attitude. There will be something here that can help you.

For most of my career, I have been a researcher and an academic, juggling a demanding and varied workload and yes, using these tools.

I hope you find these useful.
