Stress Management for Effective, Satisfied Employees

Stress can be a highly effective motivator, or it can be a silent assassin, methodically poisoning our bodies. What will motivate one person to accomplish the greatest of goals, will drive another to self destructive behavior, illness or even death. Stress is our individual response to situations and circumstances. Determining "right" or "wrong" responses provides little value; understanding why we act and react the way we do provides tremendous value by offering the opportunity to change. Common stress is based on perceptions. Perceptions are based upon how we see the world and ourselves. Awareness is essential for understanding; understanding is essential for change, and change is essential for improvement.

This course focuses on awareness and new perspectives. Students learn how we internally "manufacture" our stress and how to maximize the benefits of stress while minimizing its negative impact.
