Lead With Calm: Make Stress Reduction Part of Your Work and Workplace

Jordan Friedman

Stress Management Expert & Coach

Stress is at an all-time high and half say they want help reducing it.

Stress and anxiety are fueling symptoms for leaders, managers and team members—everything from distraction, overwhelm and depression, to lower engagement, burnout and higher turnover.

Stress and anxiety aren't just wellness issues that can be answered by an AI chatbot, in a one-hour workshop, or with a day off. They are ongoing challenges that leaders and others can and should address with simple, built-in actions that don't require a counseling degree.

In fact, some of the most effective stress reduction can happen as a part of daily activities—in a meeting, on a phone call, or before a presentation.

During this workshop, you’ll learn simple, fast-acting strategies and techniques to reduce and prevent stress for yourself and those you work with—and how to incorporate them into your work as a leader, manager or team member.

At the end of this workshop, you will:

  • Be able to PREVENT and reduce stress by better identifying its sources and symptoms.

  • Use and share evidence-based stress and anxiety reduction techniques for sharper focus, reduced overwhelm, better sleep, and more.

  • Seamlessly make stress and anxiety reduction a welcomed part of your leadership, management and work culture.
