Why we all need to practice emotional first aid | Guy Winch | TED Talk

Take some time to learn about stress management and mental wellness with the TED Talk "Why we all need to practice emotional first aid." We'll go to the doctor when we feel sick or have a nagging pain, so why don't we see a health professional when we feel emotional pain like guilt, loss or loneliness? In this talk on mental health awareness, author and psychologist Guy Winch explains how we can all practice better emotional hygiene––what he describes as taking care of our emotions and our minds with the same diligence as we take care of our bodies––to develop the resilience and grit to thrive.

Communication Skills: Connect More Effectively In Virtual And Remote Work To Maximise Productivity

Many changes in recent years have reshaped our daily lives, especially in how we work. Remote working has now become commonplace. Whilst it may seem to have a lot of advantages over office working, it is easy to fall out of balance and find yourself disliking every minute of the virtual work environment. This course ensures you start on the right foot with a foolproof remote work strategy that will enhance your productivity and happiness levels. At the beginning of the course, you will learn how to make the most of your workspace and how you can tailor it to match your needs. This ties in perfectly with the next section, which explains how to set boundaries, especially where tech usage is involved. This will taper your blue light exposure, reducing your stress levels while keeping productivity at a high level. Even with all these daily boundaries and limits, you can still suffer from screen fatigue. The middle section of the course will teach you remote work productivity tips, such as the 90-minute break and the concept of ‘deep work’, to make sure you never lose focus and drive to give your all. The course finishes off with the concept of ‘virtual relating’, which allows us to form strong bonds even without face-to-face contact. Using a three-step process, you will learn how to practice 'virtual relating' correctly and appreciate its importance in generating strong work cohesion. After all, a team willing to collaborate will generally be more honest and transparent with each other. It is this shared ethical mindset that boosts group productivity, allowing your company to grow and branch out much more quickly than before. With that in mind, this course isn’t just for employees who are working virtually - it is also for company leaders who want to make the most of this virtual working revolution and take their business to new heights (that a normal office working could never supply). Enrol now to learn more! Who Is The Course For? - Professionals currently working virtually who are looking to improve their productivity levels. - Business leaders and owners looking to get the best out of their remote employees. - Professionals who are new to working virtually and want to start on the right foot. - Anyone struggling to stay balanced within a virtual work environment. - Anyone suffering from excessive blue light exposure whilst working from home.
