From Stress to Serenity Cover
Published 2003 by Sophia Books, it has been described as"not mere techniques for avoiding or coping with stress, but a path towards its transformation into creative self-development".

Gaining Strength

A series of 3 executive workshops based on the book, From Stress to Serenity, by Angus Jenkinson

The workshops are based on the proven principles that:

  • The experience of stress arises from a gap between the ability of the individual to cope (across a range of competencies, including courage, compassion, flexibility and creativity, complex decision-making and more) and the actual challenges met. This experience should evoke a decision to change, possibly by reducing stress, but also by increasing capability. And there are extremely effective ways to do this.
  • What happens to us does not automatically have to turn into any reaction, including pain and stress; normally we have choice about how to respond. There are strategies and practices to achieve this.
  • Leaders are those who have mastered such lessons; and great leaders have mastered them more.
  • 'Stress' can thus be seen as a path of self-development, and one that when followed benefits others, organisations and society.

The 3 workshops cover:

  1. Self-awareness and strategies for self-development
  2. Inter-personal and work related stress management
  3. Leadership practices: reducing stress and increasing capability in the organisation
