How to Stay Cool When You are Put on the Spot

Speaker David Lancefield

There are plenty of high-stakes moments in which people catch you off guard and make you feel defensive, whether by their choice of words or demeanor.

You know that you should respond calmly and dispassionately. Expressing strong emotions rarely helps to address the challenge. It also leaves a bad impression.

In this webinar you will learn how to maintain your composure so you can think clearly, express yourself with conviction, and come out strong.

You will learn (Learning Objectives):

Surviving and Thriving During Uncertainty, Stressful Times and Beyond

Speaker Josh Dye

Stress. Anxiety. Frustration. Fear. Uncertainty. Have you felt any of these emotions lately?

If so, you are not alone. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and recent social unrest are taking a toll on our emotional, physical, social, and financial health. 

Self care is hard for many of us during ‘normal’ times. How are we supposed to manage all of this? 

There are three common problems with a lot of self care advice:

1. It is too basic (yeah…I already know I’m supposed to exercise, eat right and go to bed early!).

2. It creates extra work during an already stressful time. (“Do this new thing, this new thing, AND this new thing and you’ll turn your life around!”).

3. It’s unrealistic (No, most of us can’t actually do it all, especially during times like this. Some balls will drop!).

Let’s explore a better way to do self care. 

In this webinar you will learn (Learning objectives):

  • Triggers – How to identify what is bothering you, so you can resolve it.
  • Anti-Goals – How to identify what you don’t want to do, so you can do what you want.
  • Subtraction – What to eliminate to make your life better.
  • Dropping the ball – What commitments to drop and what to preserve when time gets tight.

You will also learn practical tips on how to manage difficult emotions, achieve mental strength, and maintain physical and financial health during difficult times.

Managing Stress for Positive Change

In the workplace, stress is often viewed in purely negative terms.

It’s seen as a response that should simply be minimized or pushed aside. However, it’s possible to use stress to fuel positive change.

In this webinar you will learn (Learning Objectives):

  • What exactly stress is.
  • How you can train yourself to use stress in more effective ways.
  • Reactions vs. responses.
  • Things we can do to reduce employee stress when an organization experiences difficult times.
