Why Should You Attend
Stress affects every single one of us. When we are experiencing stress our communication, leadership, and ability to maintain healthy relationships decreases. Stress is one of the largest contributing factors to burnout and missed workdays. It not only affects the individual but also the organization and those close to them. Even if you are really Type A (like me) you can still learn the simple techniques like mindfulness, meditation, and breath work. We can change so much simply by changing our minds using tools like affirmations and visualization. If you find yourself having trouble managing your stress, not only in the moment but also long-term, this is a great workshop for you.
Topic Background
Much of this workshop is based on my research for my dissertation during my PhD studies. I have been studying stress and mind-body medicine for around 30 years, starting out as a massage therapist, and then moving into becoming a naturopath and a life coach. Stress is one of the biggest issues in our society today and is only a growing problem. I’ll offer solutions in the short term and long term to help manage your response to stress.
