Feeling especially emotional about the up-coming election? Frustrated, overwhelmed?
With all the federal offices, state ballot measures and local initiatives, voting is becoming harder than getting an advanced degree. It takes hours of study and a seasoned eye to outsmart the deceptive advertising and twisted arguments for and against.
Things are so complicated there's now a term, "voter fatigue" which describes the fact that many voters don't even get to the last page of their ballot. But, because that's where you'll find the LOCAL measures and where your actual vote counts most.
So we URGE you to start on the LAST page of your ballot First and work to the front. #votelastfirst

|
This presentation is designed to educate attendees about the different ways in which we respond to stressful situations in our work environments--it's not the stressful event itself that is responsible for our actions, but it is rather our energetic response to these events that determines our well-being in the workplace. Here are some key points that I will address.
- An overview of how each type of energetic response manifests itself in the workplace
- Specific ways in which our reactions tend to differ from non-stressful events to stressful events
- Ways in which to determine how you are energetically responding to stress at work
- Specific techniques for enhancing your response to stress at work
- How to effectively set goals for your response to stress in the workplace
My goal for this presentation is to educate attendess about their responses to stress and stress management so that they can generate new insights and and shift in perspective going forward.
