HOW TO HANDLE STRESS AND UNCERTAINTY IN YOUR JOB AND IN YOUR LIFE.
Are you stressed about what’s happening around you? Are the demands of your job getting the best of you? Is the uncertainty of your spouse’s career or yours affecting your attitude and perspective? Are you worries keeping you from being as productive as you’d like at your job?
Well you are not alone.
A study of roughly 1,100 American adults that appeared in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that women were more likely than men to experience chronic stress and feel that their lives were out of their control.
It’s time to change this. In this lively and interactive presentation, you will learn:
- How to not let stress and uncertainty get the best of you
- How to easily pinpoint what’s not working
- How to put a concrete plan in place to get back on track
- How to effectively monitor your progress
- How to feel positive and energetic about your career and your life again
Uncertainty brings stress and stress can do damage. Find out how you can become comfortable with stress so you can successfully move forward again.
"Thanks for an inspiring talk filled with practical and useful information. Hope you'll come back again someday in the future!” Maureen Sullivan-Moreau, Training International, NYC
“I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your session! I gained some great "practical" tips that I will implement right away. I also want to commend your classroom management techniques--handling disruptions (the woman on the phone), keeping conversations on track, and modeling what you teach. Finally, I enjoy meeting entrepreneurial women who have successfully grown businesses. You are an inspiration. May you continue to exceed your career goals too.” Diane Irwin, President of Dynamic Resumes
JUMP START YOUR CAREER WITH INSPIRATION. FIVE WAYS TO GET UNSTUCK AND MOVING AGAIN.
Many people I speak with are looking for that magic formula, the recipe that will transform their careers. The truth is they may never find what they are looking for. The reason is they are looking outward, when the answer is within.
I've helped hundreds of individuals create amazing careers. Even in this job market, when they are told there are no jobs, or layoffs are looming, they are still securing positions that they love. How are they doing it? They are inspired.
In a recent CEO/Top Executive Survey, passion for what they do was cited as the second most important career motivator. Why is this so vital for you to know? Because you cannot find a career that you are passionate about, or re-discover the passion you once had for your present career, without being inspired first.
In This Lively And Interactive Presentation, You Will Learn:
- Why inspiration is the secret to loving your career today, not someday
- Why getting inspired again is easier that you think
- How to get back into action quickly
- How to tap into the power of inspiration so you can transform your career and your life

STOP MANAGING AND START LEADING. SIX STEPS TO UNLOCKING & HARNESSING YOUR EMPLOYEES GREATNESS.
-
Would you like your employees do what they said they would, on-time, under budget, and with a good attitude?
-
Would you like to have employees who treat your business or department like it was their own and not just a place to come to work each day?

Being the person responsible for leading or managing your company or department is not always easy. You spend your time thinking of ways your business or the company you work for can run at its best. You want to see the company succeed, and you want people around you who feel the same way. And, you get frustrated and confused when they don’t. Maybe your employees are as committed as you but neither you nor they are able to communicate that enthusiasm effectively.
So, in comes coaching. A proven, reliable method that brings out the best in you and your people.
