<p>Stress continues to have a major impact in organisations. According to HSE research, the total number of working days lost due to this condition last year was 9.9 million days with stress accounting for 43% of all working days lost due to ill health. Despite this huge impact, CIPD research shows that many organisations are failing to take adequate steps to proactively identify and reduce stress in the workplace and many struggle to recognise and support staff who are already suffering from stress-related symptoms.</p>
<p>This programme has therefore been designed to help HR professionals identify how they can best support their organisation in preventing, reducing and managing stress. It recognises the role that HR can play in helping develop proactive strategies to reduce incidents of work-related stress as well as helping individuals to cope with or recover from stressful situations. It also recognises the important role that HR has in equipping managers with the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to manage stress within their team appropriately. The workshop provides participants with a wealth of ideas, strategies and tools to use within their organisations. It draws on current research, best practice guidance, lessons from case law and learning from a wide range of organisations in the form of case studies.</p><ul><li>UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF STRESS AT WORK AND THE CAUSES OF WORK-RELATED STRESS</li><li>UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF PROACTIVELY MANAGING STRESS, INCLUDING MINIMISING LEGAL RISK</li><li>KNOW HOW HR CAN BEST SUPPORT THE ORGANISATION AS A WHOLE IN MANAGING STRESS AND, IN PARTICULAR, HOW TO SUPPORT MANAGERS PREVENT AND RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO STRESS WITHIN THEIR TEAM</li><li>HAVE LEARNT HOW OTHER ORGANISATIONS TACKLE STRESS AND THE RANGE OF SUPPORT AND WIDER TOOLS AND INITIATIVES AVAILABLE</li><li>HAVE REVIEWED HOW THEIR ORGANISATION PREVENTS AND MANAGES STRESS AND HAVE IDENTIFIED AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT</li></ul><section>

<p>This workshop will help you create, develop and close business opportunities using a consultative approach and a value-based (not price-led) proposition.</p><p>Value-based selling means working the way your customer wants to buy, not how you want to sell. It also means:</p><p>In a transactional sale the customer knows the answer without help from a salesperson (or cannot see why they should choose you), or is prepared to stay with what they have. Customer decision criteria are price and convenience and customers resent time spent with (new) salespeople, mainly because the salesperson adds little or nothing to what the customer already has and just wastes time.</p><p>In a consultative or value-based sale, by contrast, the customer doesn't know the answer already. The salesperson must take the role of an advisor, not just a 'product promoter'. Customers demand expertise, advice and customisation during the sales process. Often customers insist on multiple meetings with salespeople and others to develop advantages that you can bring and reduce the perceived risk of changing. In this way the salesperson often adds more value than the product or service alone.</p>This very practical workshop will help you use proven strategies and tactics to build, manage and successfully close sustainable business opportunities using a consultative approach and a value-based (not price-led) proposition. This includes:<ul><li>Increased impact of your new sales conversations, presentations and proposals - leading to faster decisions and increased conversion</li><li>Greater confidence, consistency and professionalism throughout the business development process</li><li>Enhanced sales questioning skills and techniques, leading to better, faster and more accurate development of customer needs, problems, value and expectations</li><li>Improve your people, communication, influence and persuasion skills when approaching, consulting or presenting your services and solutions</li><li>How to build value at all points in the customer's buying process through your knowledge, skills and structured approach</li><li>Proven ways to gain additional business and referrals from existing customers and contacts, through direct approach and lead generation</li><li>Being better able differentiate your firm, your solutions, track-record and expertise clearly and accurately with tailored value statements for each stage and for each opportunity</li><li>Overcome and avoid price-based objections, buying criteria and negotiation</li></ul><section>

and events logistics inefficiencies. From helping leaders figure out their onboarding, communication flow, event logistics and how to further develop the talents of their teams, Chynna supports leading organizations in creating a systematic approach to tackling business/events challenges and bottlenecks.
Prior to Matriarch Made, Chynna worked in the personal office of Barack and Michelle Obama as their Director of Travel and Event Operations. Her career also includes administrative roles at Disney and the White House where she served as “body woman” to Mrs. Obama during the Obama Administration.
Chynna graduated from University of Florida with a B.S. in Event Management and Political Science and a minor in Business. She currently resides in Washington, DC with her wife, Retired Naval Chief Petty Officer, Katina Hoyles.
Chynna was featured in Michelle Obama’s latest book, The Light We Carry

“She could adapt in all types of environments, remain­ing unflappable in the face of change. On any given day, I might go from having a conversation with a group of students at a school to filming a television show or recording a podcast. I could meet with a world leader or the head of a philanthropic organization and then have dinner with A-list celebrities. It was Chynna facilitating every move.”
— Direct Quote from Michelle Obama in The Light We Carry
