Why Choose This Training?
More Than Just A Course Of Lectures
What gets in the way of developing and holding on to new communication skills are old habits of thinking and speaking. Even if the advice is very good the reason why it rarely sticks are the mental habits people inevitably revert to, especially under pressure.
Unlearning those old habits and internalising a more effective and lasting approach to communication needs more than a short course of lectures on how to do it.
What Makes This Training Stand Out?
What makes this training stand out is the exceptional support through one-to-one coaching sessions and continuous feedback. Changing behaviour is not an easy task as old habits are hard to break.
With a 40-year track record we can help you cultivate practical skills, and build your confidence to so you can successfully navigate real-world challenges, ensuring lasting behavioural improvements.

Understanding Anger and Frustration in the Workplace
Navigating the choppy waters of workplace emotions, "Understanding Anger and Frustration in the Workplace" is your compass to demystifying those tense moments of stress that can ripple through teams.
It's about getting to the heart of what ticks us off at work and why it matters - a pivotal step for any manager looking not just to cope but truly excel amidst daily pressures.
Definition of anger and frustration
Anger is like a fire inside us. Sometimes it's just a small flame, but other times it can grow huge and scary. When we're angry, our heart beats faster with adrenaline, and we might feel ready to explode.
Frustration is when we can't get what we want or things don't go as planned or expected. It's like wanting to play outside but finding out it's raining – that sinking feeling in your tummy, that's frustration.
In the workplace, these feelings pop up now and then. Deadlines are tight or something arise or maybe two people just can't agree. We all deal with anger and frustration at work – they're normal emotions but they sure can make things tough if not handled right!
Causes of anger and frustration at work
Feeling frustrated at work can really throw you off your game. It's key to know what might cause these negative feelings so you can handle them better.
- Loads of work
- Not enough control
- Broken communication
- Bad gear and space
Impact of anger and frustration on productivity
Anger and frustration are like thieves. They can sneak into a workplace and steal good vibes. When people get angry or frustrated, they don't do their best work. They might waste time being upset instead of solving problems.
If someone stays mad for too long, it's even worse. Their motivation may drop, and they won't want to try hard anymore.
Feeling cross or wound up can also make a team fall apart. People stop talking to each other nicely and start fights over small things. This can make everyone stressed out and the whole place feels bad to be in.
Work doesn't get done as well when anger takes over because minds aren't clear for thinking about how to do things right.
Importance of Managing Anger and Frustration in the Workplace
When anger and frustration bubble up in the workplace, they don't just strain relationships - they hit where it hurts most: the bottom line. Tackling these emotions head-on is crucial; not only for the well-being of your team but also to safeguard your company’s performance and culture.
Effects on individual and team dynamics
Anger and frustration in the workplace can hurt how well individuals work together. If someone on your team can't control their anger, this might cause trouble and break the trust within the group.
They may start to see each other as threats rather than teammates or a trusted friend. This makes it hard for teams to solve problems and support one another.
A manager who feels angry or frustrated might make quick decisions without thinking them through or ignore what other team members suggest. This could lead to mistakes and less creativity in finding solutions.
It also makes people less willing to share ideas or speak up because they're scared of getting a bad reaction. Teams need everyone's best efforts, but unmanaged anger can get in the way of working well together and reaching goals.
Cost to the business
Anger and frustration at work can be costly. They lead to wasted time as people try to fix conflicts or when employees feel too upset to do their best. Sometimes, this trouble in the workplace means that good workers leave because they don't like how things are going.
This can make it hard for your team to get along and do well together.
Dealing with these emotions is not just about feelings - it hits the bottom line. Morale drops if staff think they're always being criticised or feeling left out. And let's face it, unhappy teams just don't produce top-notch work.
As a manager, you want everyone pulling in the same direction - not wasting energy on arguments!
Learning Outcomes
In our Frustrated Manager Training Course, you'll crack the code on what's setting off your workplace woes - and nope, it isn't just "one of those days". You’ll learn how to transform tension into productive energy that actually gets stuff done.
Identify triggers of anger and frustration
You might find yourself getting angry or annoyed at work. It's normal, but not fun. To feel better and act wisely, you need to know what makes you mad. Our training helps with that.
You'll learn to spot the little signs that your temper is about to flare up.
Maybe a co-worker takes too long on tasks or people keep interrupting you – whatever it is, we'll help you identify it. Once you do, you can use some advanced communication skills to safely breath and express your concerns, that will enable you to calm down.
This way, instead of losing your cool, you'll handle things in a smart way that's good for everyone at work.
Build coping mechanisms
Once you spot what sparks your anger, it’s time to tackle it head-on. Coping mechanisms are like having a set of tools. They help you deal with those tough moments without losing your cool.
Think of the exercise as taking deep breaths. It's simple and can calm you down fast. Or try squeezing and relaxing your muscles one by one – that’s progressive muscle relaxation, and it eases tension.
Talking things through with someone you trust can clear your mind too. If sitting still isn't for you, physical activityworks wonders for blowing off steam after a rough day. And let’s not forget setting boundaries; they’re key to keeping work stress in check so it doesn’t eat into your life outside the office.
All these strategies give managers the know-how to handle frustration in healthy ways, cutting down on those negative consequences big time!
Develop effective communication skills
Talking well matters. For managers, it's key to share tough news without making people upset or breaking trust. Good talk skills stop folks from feeling mad or doing a bad job. They help you catch chances and keep the team strong.
Your words can shape what others think of you. Learn to be real and honest and assertive as a manager – it’ll show in how you lead. Plus, being seen is part of talking too! When your team sees you, they listen more.
Improving how you talk at work makes everyone better off.
Practice these skills where it’s safe – like in role plays that feel real, with others telling you how well you did. In time, what comes out of your mouth will make everyone nod along instead of frown.

Course Contents
At the heart of our frustrations, the course content is designed to unravel the inner workings of anger, laying out a path for recognising and managing those heated moments.
It's brimming with real-life strategies - think conflict resolution techniques and self-regulation tools - to nip workplace tensions in the bud before they bloom into full-blown storms.
Understanding the biology of anger
Anger starts deep in our brain, and it's a bit like an alarm going off when we feel a threat. It can make our heart beat faster and our muscles tense up. This is all about the fight or flight response – it's your body getting ready to deal with a moment of trouble.
When you get angry, chemicals like adrenaline are released, making you more focused but sometimes less in control.
It’s good to know what sets off this alarm in your head. Some people might get mad if they think someone is not respecting them or if things don't go as planned. Understanding how anger works in your body helps you stay calm and handle situations better.
Breathing exercises can be a great tool here by giving you time to cool down before reacting.
Recognising and regulating anger
Feeling angry at work can sneak up on you. It might be from a failed deal or even just too many emails. Recognising it early is key. You'll learn the common signs, like talking faster or a pounding of heart rate.
Catching these hints gives you time to relax and use calming tricks before things get worse.
Regulating anger is about more than staying calm though. It involves changing how you think and act in tough and frustrating times. Courses teach ways to handle frustration by focusing on solutions instead of problems.
This means speaking up without upsetting others and cooling down without walking away from the challenge at hand.
Resolving conflicts and frustrations
Conflicts at work can be tough. You might feel stuck or upset when people don't agree. But, there's a way to fix this. Our course shows you how to see the signs of trouble early on.
You'll learn what makes conflicts start and how your feelings play a part in them. We've got some smart ways for you to deal with problems and sort things out.
One key skill is talking well with others, even when it's hard. This means really listening and not just waiting for your turn to speak. It also involves understanding why the other person feels a certain way.
With these tools, you won’t just put an end to arguments; you’ll stop them before they begin! And that’s good news because working together without conflict leads to better teamwork and gets more done.

How to avoid generating conflict in the workplace
To stop fights at work, know what starts them. Look for signs like high-stress levels or folks getting mad quickly. If you see these, it's time to step in and help cool things down.
Teach your team how to talk well and listen even better. Give them ways to deal with anger like taking deep breaths or counting to ten before they speak.
Make sure everyone knows the rules of how to act at work. Set clear goals so people don't get mixed up about who should do what. When someone does a good job, tell them! It makes them feel good and stops bad feelings from growing.
