Cracking the Stress Code: Achieve Work/Life Balance and Stop Stress from Taking Over

Dr. Terry Lyles

We live in world of high stress. From intense workloads, to looming deadlines, to personal difficulties- stress takes on many forms that adversely affect productivity, performance, and health.

Stress is a real problem that affects the bottom line of work and life. When we try to manage stress instead of using it to our advantage it makes us feel:

  • Fatigued
  • Depressed
  • Unproductive
  • Unmotivated to achieve and succeed

When we embrace the power of stress utilization we realize that we are in charge of our inspiration and energy levels and we become:

  • High performers
  • Energized
  • Healthy
  • Driven to conquer obstacles and succeed

Based on in-depth scientific research of how the human brain and body processes stress, working directly with hundreds of clients from some of the most intense environments imaginable, and challenging personal experiences, Dr. Terry Lyles has pioneered the field of stress utilization. Stress is not something that can be managed; but something that can be used and controlled for maximized output and success.

This insightful and eye-opening presentation will teach you: (Learning Objectives)

  • Why stress utilization is key and stress management is ineffective.
  • How to navigate stress and pressure in the workplace and your personal life.
  • The ways that you respond to stressful situations will define your future efforts and endeavors.
  • Simple ways to recharge and recover for maximized energy throughout the day.
  • How to align your mind and body in order to maximize productivity.

Most of all, Terry shows you that when you take hold of stress you become a better more productive leader, manager, employee, and person in every area of your life.

Recognized as a thought leader in his field, Dr. Terry Lyles has appeared on NBC, ABC, USA Today, CNN, Headlines News, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, FOX News, and in U.S. News & World Report.

Perhaps the greatest teacher has been Terry’s own personal experiences. He has voluntarily placed himself into emotionally intense environments and situations like supporting fire-rescue workers in and around Ground Zero, helped international forensic medical teams in the Asian tsunami-torn area, and served regularly as a resource for other regions experiencing hurricanes and natural disasters.

He also has served as a caretaker for his own adult son—diagnosed with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, he wakes up every day facing an uphill battle against his physical limitations. Despite being given dismal odds, his son emotes joy and powers through the day with immense motivation. His son’s example made Terry ask an impactful question, “What is my excuse?” and then “What is your excuse?”

No one should live as a slave to his or her stress. Terry knows without a doubt that his time- tested, scientifically-measured approach to stress utilization fosters creativity, cultivates motivation, and increases productivity.

According to speaker Neha Sangwan, MD — an expert in empowering professionals to excel under pressure—burnout is due to prolonged stress and an ongoing net drain of energy on one or more of five levels:

  • Mental Energy
  • Emotional Energy
  • Social Energy

Drowning in Empathy: The Cost of Vicarious Trauma

Speaker Amy Cunningham

Popular based on survey feedback!

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a health issue most people are familiar with, but what about those individuals who dedicate their lives to caring for the traumatized? What is the cost to them? Every day, professionals in the ‘caring professions’ selflessly serve traumatized people.

However, research has shown it comes at an extreme cost. The empathetic nature of caring professionals exposes them to an increased risk of vicarious trauma, or Compassion Fatigue, where the helper during a crisis can also become personally affected without experiencing the trauma. The PTSD symptoms can begin to manifest in those serving the traumatized and begin to create significant personal, emotional, and psychological changes within a person.

Amy Cunningham discovered Compassion Fatigue in her work as a supervisor of a juvenile probation therapeutic group home. Not realizing it, Amy’s constant exposure to the troubled teens and their issues would change her, and she developed Compassion Fatigue. After several months of implementing strategies recommended for Post Traumatic Growth, she began to normalize and find healing.

In this webinar, you will learn: (Learning Objectives)

  • How to differentiate between stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
  • How to recognize the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue.
  • How to identify the trajectory of compassion fatigue and begin to implement the 5 resilience’s needed to assist you in achieving post-traumatic growth.

About the Presenter: Amy Cunningham

Amy inspires individuals to live a life of compassion, empathy, passion, and purpose. She has spent the last 19 years working with nonprofits and mental health organizations, which began with a focus on assisting adolescents to overcome trauma and redefine their lives.

After recognizing the negatives effects that caring can cause, she became a certified Compassion Fatigue Educator through Green Cross Traumatology, and has traveled throughout the nation advocating a balance between work, life, and taking care of oneself. In 2011, Amy developed the Compassion Fatigue Training Program for the Center for Health Care Services – a division of Bexar County, Texas’ community mental health agency.

Amy currently serves as a Talent Management Consultant for CHRISTUS Health. CHRISTUS Health is an international non-profit hospital system with more than 35,000 employees.
