Coping Confidence = The Key to Resilience

Especially in the Covid Crisis

Even before this Covid pandemic, stress had been declared an epidemic by the World Health Organization, estimated to cost US businesses $600 billion dollars/year! And now?!?!

You are stressed, your leaders are stressed, your workforce is stressed, many beyond their coping skills. It’s time to embrace the science and wisdom of how humans survive and thrive, to ramp up your “coping confidence”—proven to be the key to resilience. Build that critical confidence by learning how to leverage your strengths, access your better thinking, and add specific skills to work with your human physiology to be stronger than your stress.

  • Learn the latest science of resilience—why building coping confidence works
  • How to identify and leverage your current strengths
  • Learn science-based skills to master your stress, in the moment and for the future

Better Brainpower Now! (A relative of "Serenity Now!")

Now, more than ever, you need your brain to work for you—to make tough decisions, find clarity in the chaos, and access your creativity to deal with the enormous challenges on your plate. Yet in the face of stress, you are actually wired to shut down your executive functions in favor of ramping up your ability to stop thinking and run. This is great if you are being chased by a tiger, but not so helpful in the face of the prolonged stress of this new Covid world.

The good news is you can learn specific science-based skills to power up your smart frontal lobe, even in crisis. Learn how to meet your brain’s needs so you can bring your best self to the challenge.

  • Understand how your brain wiring functions
  • Learn how to interrupt automatic stress reactions to respond well
  • Learn 5 steps to ramp up brain power

Mighty Mitochondria! — Re-energizing You and Your People

One of the most powerful keys to resilience is energy management—from the cellular level (mitochondria—remember those little powerhouses?), to the organism (you, the human), to the organizational/systems level. Even before the Covid pandemic we have been facing a human energy crisis—exhausted, overwhelmed, depleted leaders, workforces, parents, humans stretched too thin to be effective, feel fully engaged, access their best brainpower, maintain critical relationships, or experience basic well-being. We’ve been trained to pay more attention to our cell phone batteries than our own!

And now we are spending enormous energy at every level, coping with massive life disruption, not to mention suffering and trauma—personal/secondary/vicarious. It’s time to learn science and wisdom-backed ways to better monitor, manage, and recharge your personal energy so you can bring your best self back to work and life.

  • Learn an energy assessment system
  • Learn ways to power up your energy starting with your cells
  • Learn creative ways to recharge on the go
  • Learn how to make energy management part of your life, leadership, team, workforce, family
