Practical/Tactical Stress Management
For many competent and dedicated professionals, stress continues to be a significant barrier to personal and professional satisfaction, job performance, and a high quality of life. Too often, hard-earned“downtime” or “self-care” is still spent worrying about stressors, and finding the time and resources for self-care activities often becomes an additional, daunting, source of stress. Many high performing professionals also experience guilt and frustration that they can’t seem to “fix” or effectively cope with the events and experiences that cause them stress. In this high-energy, interactive, and truly fun experience, learn how individual stressors become chronic stress through physiological and cognitive processes, and then observe, participate in, and practice practical/tactical techniques for stress management for useanywhere, in two minutes or less.
