Poise under Pressure - Effective Stress Management for
Executives and Professionals

if you can hold your head when all about you are losing theirs and and blaming it on you...

Many scientific studies have linked stress as a leading contributor to Cancer and Heart disease; it is also a significant contributing factor in a host of other illnesses, ranging from hypertension to autoimmune disorders, chronic pain syndromes, skin disorders, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and mood disorders. In the workplace, it is the primary factor associated with absenteeism, burnout and low productivity.

In this program, participants will learn to cope with real-life issues, and interact in experiential exercises to discover principles and techniques that that have special meaning and application to their own personal situation - A repetoire of techniques drawn from both eastern and western philosophies, including cognitive restructuring, mindfulness meditation, visualization, progressive relaxation, and conflict management will be discussed and participants will be given a workbook and recording of various relaxation techniques, as resource materials.

The Challenge Within - Transforming Effort into Excellence

...the significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.....

Most of us are conditioned to use only a small percentage of our true potential: throughout life we unwittingly pick up beliefs, habits, attitudes and values that severely limit our effectiveness. The Challenge within is to be able to identify those beliefs, values, behaviour patterns, viewpoints and roles that block our development and to put in place a solid foundation we can build on, a centre we can operate from with maximum effectiveness.

Many of us have experienced the frustration of self- defeating behaviour, of being stuck in a rut, of constantly winding up as a victim. Most people settle for far less than their dreams, for far less than their true potential. This program is designed to help us take charge and regain control of our lives, to operate from a position of power , rather than weakness. It is a program of personal breakthrough - of making quantum improvements in how we perform in our jobs, our personal lives, and our community. It starts with where you are now - and firmly establishes you on the road to where you want to be.
