“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 volatile times, it's more important than ever to be proactive about your company's number one resource: engaged and energized brains. Attention spans and nerves are under assault from information overload and the hidden, and unsustainable, stressor of time urgency. A mechanism in the brain called effortful control, which self-regulates impulse control, is eroded by interruptions and stress. The more your staff checks email, the more they have to check it, because impulse control has been eroded. It's all driving record levels of stress, burnout and overload. But there ’s a healthier, and more productive, road to success—Sustainable Performance.

Joe Robinson shows how to exit the burnout trap and its costs--skyrocketing health bills, lost productivity, absenteeism, retention issues, and reduced commitment. Sustainable Performance gets your team engaged again, off the autopilot of just reacting to the incoming and not managing it. They'll learn how to change default habits that drive stress and redesign tasks that that push coping systems to the limit. Adjusting key task practices can dramatically improve effectiveness and job satisfaction. Attendees learn how to:

Reframe stress so it doesn’t bite
Build attention and focus
Control information overload
Get more done in less time
Redesign task bottlenecks
Refuel energy and vitality

Research shows that a 5% swing in retention translates into an earnings swing of 25% to 100%. Employees with more flexible schedules increase company productivity by one-third! Call 310-392-9580 or email joe@worktolive.info to boost your assets.
