PHYSIOLOGY

∙ Maintain engagement & motivation during change∙ Stay focused on facts, remove emotionality from situations∙ Be a calm & confident role model regardless of title∙ Act intentionally as a leader despite matters you can’t control

PSYCHOLOGY

∙ Create up to 1 hour per day more uninterrupted time to think ∙ Manage the ‘always on’ & ‘multitasking’ culture ∙ Gain buy-in from colleagues who are overwhelmed or resistant∙ Rise above situations of conflict to solve problems at root causes

PRODUCTIVITY

“A terrific training! engaging, invigorating- a truly fresh look at common challenges. We’ve gotten rave reviews on how her material has been helpful in immediate & practical ways. Her energy is contagious. Most highly recommend!”

Nora Cashion, MerckDirector of Market Research

The effects of stress are felt only when situations are perceived to be

out of one’s control. 4 out of 5 employee top stresses concern lack

of control over their workplace experience (Towers Watson, 2013).

Following the training’s theme “Be Impeccable for your 50%”, each

participant learns to be effective at what they can control. Its not about

‘stress management’, its about self management.
