Neuroscience research demonstrates that our brain and nervous system can adapt in both positive and negative ways to stress. It’s not the stress itself that causes the problem, but our response to it, that creates the positive or negative impact in our lives. In this engaging program, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Heidi Hanna will teach you how to respond to stress with a challenge versus threat mindset. Learn how to transform stress into a catalyst for positive change, growth and performance. Discover specific strategies for your daily routine and team rituals which will help you navigate stress more effectively.
Participants will:
- Recognize how stress impacts the mind and body, for better or worse
- Learn the difference between stressed and stressed out
- Understand how to shift from reacting to responding
- Explore various stress mindsets, and how they impact health and performance
- Create an individual and team action plan to navigate stress more effectively personally and professionally
