COVID UPDATE: We hope you are safe and well in these challenging times. COVID-19 has upended how we work and live and increased stress dramatically at every organization and in every home. The challenge is big, but history and science shows we are up to it, because we are very resilient creatures. We are born to adapt.
We can help your team tap that resource with adjustments to how they think, work and react in the new normal. We focus on how to manage change, uncertainty, and stress amid COVID and build adaptability and resilience, especially in our Calm in the Storm stress management training. We all have a psychological immune system, and your team learns how to utilize it. All our programs are now available through virtual sessions on Webex and Zoom. We may be social distancing, but we can get through this together.
