My method is Deconstructing Stress. I equip and empower people in high-stress occupations to improve their quality of life and perform at their best. Through customized corporate trainings and workshops, I teach employees to not just manage stress, but to conquer it.
People across the globe are struggling to manage their workloads. They describe their well-being as “in decline,” and say their work lives are “just getting worse.
These feelings are intensified during a global pandemic, in times of economic uncertainty, with the pressure of family commitments, and because of vicarious trauma. Working with business leaders, I develop customized corporate trainings and workshops to help high-stakes teams conquer the stressors of their occupations and build the resilience they need to function at the front lines, without sacrificing their well-being.
The pressure of dealing with non-stop critical work issues, the desire to help just one more person, and a tendency to put my own needs on the back burner took an enormous toll on my physical and mental health. I reached a point of complete burnout before I realized it was unsustainable to keep living and working this way.
It was then that I decided to be part of the burnout solution. I stepped back, refocused, and invested in learning about effective self-care practices. After discovering that common stress management strategies were insufficient for individuals in high-stress careers, I developed Deconstructing Stress with the goal of conquering stress, not managing it. Deconstructing Stress techniques have been shared with organizations throughout the world.
