SPEAKING, TRAINING, WORKSHOPS “As much as we’d like to be, we’re not hard drives with hair. We don’t have Pentium processors. Only Red Bull and Starbucks.” — Joe Robinson Work Smarter with Sustainable Performance In these challenging times, it pays to be proactive about your company's number one resource: engaged minds. There's a lot of competition for attention spans these days. Information overload and stress erode a mechanism in the brain that regulates impulse control. The more we check email, the more we have to check it. As a result, attention spans are shrinking and productivity along with them. But we can bring full engagement back to life by adjusting how we do tasks and react to stress, based on the science of what works. There’s a healthier, and more productive, road to success—Sustainable Performance, a program that puts thought before action and anxiety. Stop the Contagion of Stress Joe Robinson gives your team, staff, or event attendees the tools to break out of default behaviors that drive stress and overwhelm. Stress is highly contagious, a toxin that undermines attention, relationships, and performance. Your group learns how to manage the incoming, instead of having it manage them, and not react to the emotional saboteur of stress, a critical piece of wellness.

You were fantastic yesterday." —Shari Morwood —Vice-President, IBM Market Intelligence "The insights you provided on work-life balance and the personal tools we discussed during your presentation will enable us to analyze the way we spend our time and certainly help us build more balance into our professional and personal endeavors." —Roger McGinnis —Director, Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency "Your message resonated with each person in the room. My team spends most of their waking hours focused so intently on work, the students, the teachers, and the parents, that many have lost touch with even the needs of their own families and most importantly, themselves. I am hopeful that if they take what you have so artfully presented to heart and put it into practice, that not only will they be more productive at work, but more importantly will get some of their personal lives back. Thank you for making a difference in my life and the lives of my team." —Cheryl Meeker —Senior Director Elementary Education, Manteca Unified School District "Joe was dynamite at our conference, motivating and energizing our audience.

It was one of the highlights of the conference." —Shannon Stowell —President, Adventure Travel Trade Assoc. "Your material was very well-received by the managers.
