Beyond Stress Management – Strengthen Your RESILIENCY

We live in stressful times! There are no safe havens from the stresses of change and uncertainty. Stress intrudes in our personal and family time, it invades our work life and it compromises our communities' and world’s ability to prosper. It drains our physical, emotional, creative and mental resources.

Stress infects our professional and personal life much as a virus infects our body, wearing away our strength and our resources to fight back. The stress virus is so prevalent that 88% of professionals say that work is a primary source of personal stress and 65% indicate that they are feeling more stressed today than they were five years ago.

• 85% of all primary care visits are attributed to stress. Think of the impact this has on performance and costs.
• The leading cause of career derailment is the inability to handle stress during times of change and conflict.

Trying to manage stress is difficult because its sources are so varied. Career professionals identified customers (63%), staff (63%), peers (62%) and bosses (61%) as primary sources of stress. It’s unlikely that our lives will become less stressful anytime soon. More likely, the head-spinning pace of change will continue to challenge all of us.

What we can do is inoculate ourselves from the negative consequences of stress. More than fifty years of research has powerfully demonstrated that RESILIENCY neutralizes stress. RESILIENCE is the solution to success at work and satisfaction in life. Learn how to protect and advance your career and live a healthy life. Stop the drain on your vital mental, emotional, and physical resources from the damaging affects of stress.
