Stress Resiliency Live Online Interactive Workshop April 23

Today -- more than ever -- we are stressed (yup.  We see you!)  The impact that COVID-19 is now having on our professional lives, our families, and our overall health and well-being is significant and growing.  As leaders, professionals, and individuals we need to navigate through this new crisis, while maintaining effectiveness at work and at home.
 
The Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence -- in partnership with the Performance Excellence Network and the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence -- is pleased to announce a special half-day online (interactive video) workshop from 8 am - 11:30 am on April 23: " Stress Resiliency ."  The workshop will be facilitated by Brianna Harrington of Seek United.  The workshop will be fully online, but still highly interactive.

Our personal and professional lives are intertwined.  Even before the corona virus crisis, 83% of American's suffered from work-related stress. Stress can significantly impact our ability to make strategic decisions at work and thoughtful decisions about our health and well being. Being able to manage your stress sometimes is the difference between success and failure, both in our professional and personal lives.

In this 3+ hour workshop, Brianna will share the top 10 ways to increase your stress resiliency through self-care, how to shift your habits by thinking small, and sample daily practices that are easy-to-implement for you and your organization.  You'll leave with a clear road-map to shift habits to help you thrive -- both on and off the clock.

Your investment starts at $150. Organizations and individuals connected to WCPE enjoy special pricing.  For more information and to register, visit here
