How to Effectively Lead Others By Managing Your Stress and Brain State 

January 11, 2023 Hybrid Workshop

 

A recent Gallup study reveals that U.S. workers are among the most stressed in the world. 83% of U.S. workers suffer from work-related stress. When stress is not proactively managed, there is a cost to your well-being and to your organization. Medical research estimates that 90% of all illness and disease is  stress related. Unmanaged stress costs businesses and the economy trillions of dollars in absenteeism, low productivity, and healthcare costs. Unmanaged stress negatively impacts your state and how you  lead yourself and others.

The  Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence —in partnership with the Performance Excellence Network--is pleased to announce a powerful new workshop: How How to Effectively Lead Others By Managing Your Stress & Brain State, January 11, half-day (9AM-2PM).  The workshop will be hosted in person (Normandale Community College, Bloomington) as well as streamed online.  The workshop will be facilitated by Shannon Murphy, CEO BrainSkills@Work.

In this interactive and engaging workshop, you will learn a neuroscience-based framework to manage your state, decrease stress, and increase your leadership effectiveness. You will learn and practice a suite of practical brain-based strategies and tools that are proven to help you perform at your highest and best and draw out the best in your teams. You will learn the science behind creating a brain-friendly work environment that fosters high levels of engagement and productivity.

As a special bonus, you will have the opportunity to take the BrainStates Awareness Profile as part of the workshop to gain insight into your own tendencies and how you can manage your state more effectively. Note there is also an additional post-workshop option linked to the Profile – see more below!
