Workshop Schedule: 4 Pillars of the Calm ME
Pillar 1. I see. I know what’s happening, I know how I think, how I act
Looking at myself during stress from a meta-level (What stresses me out? How much stress is in my life? How do I act? What do I do? What don’t I do? What resources do I activate? Do I activate them? Do I see them? Do I have access to them?). Where does stress come from and what does it look like? The motivations behind my behavior.
Pillar 2. I receive tools, implement change. I regain and gain agency
Techniques and strategies for coping with stress; long-term and short-term action; assessing and connecting with my own resources; how to utilize my potential.
Pillar 3. I practice, train, practice
I use knowledge. I practice on myself. I identify areas for further work. I name them. In short, I practice on myself, I train, and practice.
Pillar 4. Prevention
Toolbox. In short, I know what to do to avoid situations that stress me out. I know how to act, I know how to protect myself. I know what to do to prevent tension from escalating if it does arise.
Knowledge
During this workshop, its mentor will provide you with thoroughly verified scientific knowledge. You will learn proven techniques that support finding inner peace and facilitate functioning in tense situations. These include:
- Solution-Focused Therapy (TST) techniques
- a mini-training session on activating your own resources and overcoming internal blockages
- and practice of acquired skills in a safe psychological environment.
Practice
We will present you with practical tools that will help you respond to everyday challenges with greater awareness – nurturing your emotions and mental balance, utilizing your resources, and taking action to more effectively cope with difficulties, regardless of the circumstances. The workshop is based on Kolb's cycle (experience, observation and reflection, knowledge, application).
Mentor Experience
Above all, practice – years of experience in the areas of negotiation, crisis communication, and change communication guarantee you will receive proven and scientifically supported tools for managing high emotions. As Aneta says: "It's not an art to communicate with people who are open to understanding. The art is to establish a dialogue with people who are closed to understanding."
Tools
This workshop will provide practical skills such as: recognizing stressors and aggravating factors, identifying and understanding thought patterns that influence behavior, responding appropriately in situations of emotional stress, building mental resilience and maintaining it in the long term. How do we work? We use, among other things:
