Resolving Interpersonal Conflict

Recent studies have shown that one of the primary causes of work-related stress is interpersonal conflict. The counselors at Los Angeles Christian Counseling have many years of experience in training individuals to better manage workplace conflict. Learning how to manage conflict is one of the most important skills you can learn so even if this is the only reason you decide on professional development counseling, the long-term benefits in the workplace will be well worth the investment.

Changing Your Attitude to Change

Change is inevitable in the workplace. They’re not always big changes but many add a component of stress that is difficult to manage. Whether you’re trying to adjust to a new manager or needing to interact with different coworkers, updated technology, or additional responsibilities, all of these changes can be upsetting and stressful. Change, although not always easy, is necessary as it can open new opportunities for growth. At Los Angeles Christian Counseling, we want to journey with you as you navigate new challenges and we will help you learn the skills you will need to be the agent of change that God’s has called you to be.

Managing Work Stress

Stress that is left to fester without being addressed can manifest in physically harmful ways or in mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Don’t put off getting help. If you are under work stress take steps to address it before it’s too late. Start a conversation with a counselor and find out what steps you can take to reduce your level of stress and actively look after your overall well-being.

Maintaining Integrity in the Workplace

The workplace can often be a breeding ground for corruption, gossip, scandal, harassment, abuse, deceit and more. The question that you need to answer is “How do you maintain integrity when there is daily pressure to conform to worldly expectations?” It’s a challenge that we want to help you overcome. Through Christian professional development counseling, you will be able to strengthen your beliefs and apply them to the workplace so that you do not have to compromise on what you know to be right.

Practicing Servant Leadership

Following the example of Jesus who came as a servant leader, we need practical tools for applying this wisdom to our daily lives. If you are a Christian leader there is an expectation for you to lead in a Godly manner but this may require some coaching as you apply the teachings of Christ to common workplace situations and interactions

Career Advancement from a Christian Perspective

Is it Godly or even possible to “climb the ladder” of the business world while still maintaining a commitment to the gospel? How can we seek to advance our careers without taking advantage of other people? Professional development counseling will help you with practical ways to live out your faith at work.

Improving Colleague Interaction

Often workplaces are a dynamic, diverse mix of people from different backgrounds and demographics. This can make getting along with your colleagues a challenge, even if you are going out of your way to make an effort. Professional development counseling will help you learn the skills you need for maintaining healthy relationships on a daily basis at work.

Managing Boss/Employee Relationships

Do you find it difficult to get on with your boss? Are you, as a manager, struggling to connect with and motivate your employees? Are you wanting to improve the interactions between employees and employers to improve the sense of well-being at work? Professional development counseling takes both sides into account and can help you with practical tools for creating a workplace environment.

Finding Work-Life Balance

For many people the struggle to balance work and home life is exhausting. It’s an ongoing battle trying to prioritize both and often you are left feeling that neither has been done to the best of your ability. We will teach you how to take a step back and effectively segment your roles as well as helping you with strategies to spread the burden more evenly allowing you room to grow in a positive, life-giving way.

Learning Time Management

Do you feel like time just passes in a blur and if you reflect on your workday you can’t think of what you achieved that day? Time management is a key development skill that will help you become more productive and free up time that you can use to focus on other activities.

Growing Your Organizational Skills

Organizational skills are prized among professionals as they lead to reduced stress levels, increased productivity and more time and freedom on your hands. We will walk with you to improve your organizational tactics which will quickly translate into an improved quality of life.

Experiencing Personal Fulfillment

A common factor that increases workplace stress is the absence of quality, meaningful connections with colleagues. By taking a look at your gifts and your position in relation to your skill set we can help you make changes that will lead to an increased sense of joy and fulfillment in the workplace.

Whatever workplace concerns you might have, taking the first step of professional development counseling will help you identify what issues you are having as well as identifying proactive measures for resolving them.

We are here to help you progress in your professional career in a way that is Godly and life-giving. To do this you will meet on a one-on-one basis with your counselor who is specifically trained in professional development. Through conversation together you will identify issues and areas for growth and then work to develop an actionable plan to solve them.
