Stress is a reality in our lives – at work, at home, and on the road. The pressures we feel can often seem unrelenting and overwhelming, and chronic stress is proven to have negative effects on our physical and psychological health. But stress is not always a bad thing. Managed properly, stress can focus our attention, propel us to action, and help us achieve better outcomes on parts of our lives that we care about. This 60-minute interactive seminar explores the science of stress and presents actionable recommendations to help you optimize your response to the different sources of stress in your life.
