SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING THE STRESS OF CHANGE
This program will transform the quality of the rest of your life!
Most stress management seminars
teach participants stuff they already know and are not doing (like eat less and exercise more)! People
only end up feeling more guilty and more stressed as a result.
But in this training participants practice practical,
common-sense techniques (such as Speed Through Stress in 5 Steps in 15 Seconds Handouts ) based on decades of intensive research and down-to-earth application.
They learn how they contribute to their own stresses in the first
place, and exactly how they can move through it - faster. They are taught how to recognize the
symptoms of stress, and to turn their habitually Automatic Stress Reactions© into the more pro-active
Stress Management Response© . Physical, emotional, and mental stress are examined. Step by step processes are followed to transform worries into positive action steps, to master emotional reactions, to build a positive
habit, and to be clear and calm even in difficult situations.
Resources online include a powerful self scoring instrument, the Coping And Stress Profile© ,
RI's Pre Seminar Survey on the Stress of Change and a short 7 minute video presentation online by Dr. Pennington that overviews basic concepts that also includes his signature story of being shot in the center of his chest by an unknown assailant armed with a 38 caliber handgun.
