Stress Management

People are encountering stress, overwork, and the pressure of time constraints in their lives. Some stress is actually good for you because it inspires you to meet life’s challenges.

Too much ongoing stress causes an almost continuous activation of your body’s stress-response system. Overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones can increase your risk of obesity, insomnia, digestive problems, heart disease, depression, memory impairment, and physical illness. It is important to recognize when we are in stress.

This workshop will provide practical tips and techniques to help you achieve better results and health through the effective management of stress.

Handling questions effectively can project personal credibility. Optimizing the use of presentation aids can convey a more professional image. Most importantly, participants will have hands-on practice delivering presentations for feedback purposes.
