Neuroscience-Based Stress Reduction Coaching
- How do you know you are stressed?
- Is your leadership inflicting harm on your employees?
The rising inflation, an inevitable recession and political polarization are causing tremendous anxiety in our society. How we take care of ourselves and each other makes a big difference in getting us through these trying times.
Who is in the position to do that? Leaders are. Micromanagement, mandates, retaliation, and displacement aggression are common behaviors of stressed leaders.
Does practicing yoga or meditation reduce stress? It does for a few people, but it does NOT for most people. One person’s stress-reducer can be another person’s stressor.

The emphasis on self care and resilience misses the target because it fails to deal with stressors. Unless you know why stressors are so stressful and how to lower the impact of a stressor, you won’t make a dent on your stress.

What Our Coaching Program DOES NOT Do?

Dr. Wu’s stress-reducing talk is simply fascinating. When we understand that there are subtle and not so subtle things going on in our brains that trigger stress and anxiety, we can begin to control our response or at least be fascinated by the science behind the stress. I have used the examples Dr. Wu shares numerous times with clients and from the front of the room, weaving in the neuroscience behind our human responses in an effort to shine a light on how in control we can be of our lives if we simply implement strategies to train our brain. I highly recommend this talk in these challenging times. ~ Amy Theisen, CEO, Infinity Life Design
