Managing Behaviour in the Workplace: Topic 3 - How to overcome frazzle and stress

The ‘frazzle’ effect is that experience we have when our brains are over-stimulated. The more pressure intensifies, the less we are able to hold information in working memory, to pay attention or to react flexibly—let alone creatively. This activity will share ways to intentionally guard against a constant state of being ’brain fried’ in the complex world we operate within.

Upon satisfactory completion of this activity you will be able to:

• Recognise the neuroscience of frazzle and why this is deadly to productivity and creativity.
• Summarise the longer term implications of stress and our ability to function.
• Implement mindfulness practices to train your brain to overcome frazzle.

Benefits

Understanding how frazzle affects your brain, and how to prime your brain to manage it, will support you to effectively manage stress and build resilience.
