The FKCCI successfully held its HRD Training Tuesday on time and stress management
On Tuesday, June 24th, the French Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), in collaboration with the Korean German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KGCCI) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AustCham Korea), successfully hosted an HRD Training Tuesday seminar at FKCCI’s premises. The session focused on two vital themes in today’s professional environment: time and stress management.
The seminar was led by Mrs. Valérie Hotton, CEO of Care Consulting, a company specialized in professional development and personal growth. With her extensive coaching expertise and practical insights, Mrs. Hotton guided participants through a dynamic program designed to improve individual performance while protecting mental well-being. The training aimed to help participants understand theimpact of stress, learn practical stress management tools, enhance their time management skills, and develop a personalized action plan.
Mrs. Hotton emphasized that while stress is often seen in a negative light, it also plays a vital and positive role in our lives. Originally a survival mechanism, stress helped early humans respond swiftly to threats, and even today, when properly managed, it can sharpen focus, increase energy, and drive motivation.
That said, excessive or chronic stress can have serious consequences, including anxiety, burnout, reduced motivation, and physical, mental, and behavioral health issues.
The objective is not to eliminate stress entirely, but to cultivate positive and productive stress, stress that enhances performance without compromising health. To support this, Mrs. Hotton provided participants with practical tools through a series of engaging exercises.
In the second part of the seminar, Mrs. Hotton delved into our individual relationship with time. She emphasized that time management is, at its core, self-management, it’s about setting priorities and crafting strategies that fit one’s personal needs. Moreover, she highlighted that the key to effective time management lies in starting with a clear understanding of oneself.
Far beyond a productivity workshop, the seminar offered a new perspective on leadership, well-being, and intentional performance, equipping professionals to lead with greater clarity, presence, and resilience.
