Stress is not the enemy. It’s a tool that can bring us to peak performance, or can beat us down into an exhausted heap.
Corporate culture has been told to “reduce stress” and “avoid stress” so much that experiencing stress feels like its own failure. Dr. G – Deborah Gilboa, MD, resilience and development expert – will identify the mindset and strategies to turn stress to an advantage and avoid the harms it causes when left unchecked.
She will teach you to create a culture of expecting stress and transforming those opportunities into strengthening, purpose-filled experiences that fuel resilience and success individually and as a company!
Executives know the value of each staff member, but that knowledge and appreciation can be difficult to translate to staff, especially given the daily pressures and schedules faced by each member of the team.
Communication struggles in every department are the biggest obstacles to serving customers and each other as a true community, as they cause lost time, lost knowledge, and mounting frustration in the very people we want most to support.
Dr. G will focus on prevention, response, and reconciliation tools to build resilience in each member of your team. In this way both the predictable and the unimaginable stressors faced by anyone in an organization can be mitigated and managed with respect for the individual and the department in which they work.
These strategies will leave each employee strong in the knowledge that their contributions are crucial – both to their own effectiveness and to the mission of your organization.
Disruption. Upheaval. Pain. All of these can be obstacles to the work you do. Or they can be tools that strengthen your mission, your team and your work by building cohesion and purpose! Groups coalesce around suffering, and can build bonds that drive them towards success.
Dr. G coaches work teams to overcome barriers and alter their perspectives to find the advantages and opportunities in the experience. As your group grinds its lens of resilience, they will learn to use the tools to prepare for and navigate future disruptions successfully.
For many people, the biggest challenge of remote work is the mental strain. People of all ages are at increased risk for symptoms of anxiety and depression – even those who’ve never experienced it before – when separated from their supports.
Without the structure and interactions of “regular” life, and with startling new stressors, we need tools and tactics – that people will actually use – in order to maintain good mental health. Stress is cumulative, and prevention is far easier than treatment.
Dr. G (Deborah Gilboa, MD), family physician and an internationally acclaimed resilience expert, can lead adults working with staff, colleagues and their own family members, to recognize and head off risk, and to develop actionable strategies that build strength and resilience, for this week – and beyond.
Work culture grows from deep roots of mission and leadership. Business growth requires a culture that adapts and responds to the needs of the individuals, the purpose of the work, and the evolving ecosystem in which everyone involved exists.
Dr. G mobilizes your team by arming each person with the skills they require to communicate effectively, and find more solutions than obstacles. Resilience – the ability to incorporate change and be better prepared for the next – also, in Dr. G’s hands, proves to groups the necessity and usefulness of that change and all those to come.
