Today is the day! Join us for a lunch-and-learn experience centered on handling stress with an expert.

You will learn how to:
✅ Separate what you can control from what you can't, so you can spend your energy where it can actually make a difference.
✅ Practice acceptance when circumstances are outside your control, rather than allowing them to consume your attention.
✅ Identify patterns and habits that aren't working and determine what needs to be limited or changed.
✅ Recognize what is working and intentionally do more of it, rather than defaulting to familiar behaviors that add stress.
✅ Apply the CALM Process to real workplace stressors, including competing priorities, leadership responsibilities, change, client demands and the challenges of running a business.
✅ Walk away with realistic stress-management techniques that can be put into practice immediately, without adding another complicated item to your to-do list.

Grab your ticket before 11:30 am!
