We all face stressors in our lives. High performers find motivation through stress, but when trapped in a cycle of strain or distress they eventually run the risk of burning out.

Event Details:

To be resilient is to develop the ability to leverage energizing stressors and manage those that are draining you while taking strategic action and maximizing available resources. Pinpointing what your stressors are, how you view them, how you respond to them, and what actions you can take next are essential to reclaiming your sense of control and well-being. 

Participation is targeted to leaders and individuals experiencing elevated stress at work and in their personal lives due to ongoing changes; increases in workload; challenging deadlines; elevated expectations; and mounting pressures.
