Stress Management for High Achievers

Does your career demand performing at peak physical, emotional and mental levels for ten to fourteen hours a day, six or seven days a week, for months at a time? Is your life filled with the stress of trying to achieve a balanced lifestyle? How would your output levels improve if you could harness your energy and channel “stress” into higher productivity? Top level executives have greater demands on their mental, emotional and physical strength than anyone. Learn how to channel your stress into positive energy and how to thrive in spite of a stressful work environment.

Your ability to innovate and respond rapidly and resourcefully to change and new challenges is your greatest competitive advantage.  Most organizations don’t realize how they prevent creative and innovative thought amongst their employees – don’t let a high stress work environment compromise the power of your top producers to outperform the competition.

Event Overview:

Success in stress management starts with training for maximum physical and mental recovery.  The impact of sustained high stress on your body depends on how well you balance the pressures of performance with meeting your recovery needs through relaxation, exercise, nutrition and self-awareness. Find out how to avoid common pitfalls threatening high-level performers and how to avoid the hidden costs associated with the stress of high career achievement.

Harness the power of your mind and body. Find the means to enhance your capacity to make accurate assessments of a situation, develop sound strategies, and move decisively to action with positive outcomes.
