Navigating Challenging Interactions
Every workplace has its challenges…and sometimes those challenges have employee badges. Difficult or negative behavior doesn’t appear out of nowhere—it’s often rooted in stress, miscommunication, personality clashes, or unmet needs. In this seminar, you’ll uncover:
- What drives difficult behavior
- Common patterns (from the chronic complainer to the conversation bulldozer)
- Tools to stay effective and composed when friction sparks
By becoming behavior detectives, we can choose proactive responses instead of falling into reactive traps. Strengthen your skills and reclaim your peace—anywhere difficult people appear (which is…everywhere).
Stress Management
Stress is your body’s alarm system, turning on when something feels exciting, threatening, confusing, or overwhelming. If unmanaged, this alarm can keep blaring and drain your energy and wellbeing. This session will help you:
- Understand how stress shows up in your body and behavior
- Recognize the difference between helpful stress and harmful overload
- Learn practical coping strategies for daily work and home life
Small changes in awareness can lead to big changes in resilience.
Team Building
Every team has its own unique rhythm. When the rhythm slips, communication falters, frustration festers, and the beat is lost. EAP offers customized Team Building Seminars that tune up collaboration and trust. Together we will:
- Identify your team’s current challenges
- Develop engaging, interactive activities tailored to your goals
- Provide one-time experiences or multi-session growth plans
Whether your group needs a reset, a boost, or a breakthrough, we’ll design a path to help your team start the work of getting back in sync.
Work-Life Wellness Strategies
Life can often feel like a complicated juggling act—rewarding yet exhausting all at once. This workshop focuses on practical ways to protect your energy, prioritize what matters, and stay grounded when demands increase. Participants will gain insight into:
• Common factors that disrupt balance
• Why sustaining balance can be so challenging in fast-paced environments
• Evidence-informed strategies to restore time, energy, and overall wellbeing
Leave equipped with realistic tools to enhance satisfaction in the areas of life that matter most — both at work and at home.
