Stronger Under Pressure

There are 4 go to survival skills that our brains use to process uncertain and stressful situations. What are they and how do we recognize when we are using them? What would be gained if we purposely did the opposite of those survival skills. What might be gained? What new growth could we experience? There are also 5 ways to approach stress and uncertainty that will help us move from merely surviving uncertainty to actually thriving during it. We will unpack these 5 ways and give examples of how we can do this in our work and personal life. This talk will conclude with some inspirational ideas about hope and how we can have hope even when we don’t know what is coming next. 

After attending this seminar attendees will learn:

  • Teach the 4 survival skills that we typically use to navigate chaos and uncertainty and help attendees recognize their go to skills.
  • Challenge attendees to push beyond mere survival by teaching 5 “thrival skills” that help us not merely survive uncertainty but to actually thrive.
  • Give attendees hope that whatever comes next in the marketplace, they will be well positioned to be strong under the pressure.
