Personal Development

The Experience of Stress

Stress is about how we use or misuse our energy, both physically and mentally. When we are experiencing stress we feel strain. If we don’t use effective tools to manage ourselves in that situation, it depletes our energy. When we are managing ourselves well, we preserve or even enhance our energy. Most of us realize that if we don’t manage our stress well, it may take a long-term physical, mental and emotional toll.

Multiple Intelligences Development

The Stress Profile

We all engage in some programs–patterns of thinking and behavior–in certain situations: Mindsets. We have identified 28 distinct ones. The Profile will show you which mindsets you use in a healthy way and which ones you don’t. It does this by estimating which mindsets you use in various kinds of situations to help you understand how and when you may be depleting your energy. These estimates are extremely accurate.

The Stress Profile Workshop

We will begin by going through the profile in detail so that you can interpret yours. You will understand how resistant you are to stress. We show how specific patterns in thinking create or manage stress. We also go through some basics on how we think, learn and process information, including how states of mind work, and can be changed. You’ll learn to shift your mindsets. We finish by helping to create states of deep relaxation for recovery.


Individual profile

Individuals may take the Stress Profile questionnaire, with or without further services. You will get a written explanation of the Profile itself and your assessment.

Profile plus workshop

We will periodically offer the Stress Profile Workshop for those who have taken the Profile and wish to attend a three hour group session conducted by one of our coaches.

Corporate or organizational Workshop

We offer corporate Stress Profile assessments and workshops for teams or other groups from an organization. We can be flexible in how this is organized for best results.

Profile with assessment session

We also offer an assessment session with one of our coaches, along with the Stress Profile. This can be a valuable way to learn more about your specific Profile.

Profile with coaching

Once you take the Stress Profile, you may combine it with a series of coaching sessions. These will include the interpretation plus a personalized program of stress management under the guidance of one of our coaches.

Corporate workshop plus coaching package

We can combine all these services to include the Stress Profile, plus the workshop, followed by individual or group coaching sessions to build skills and further resiliency.

Adversity

Our families can be our greatest source of nurturing, but also sometimes our greatest source of stress and strain

Our families can be our greatest source of nurturing, but also sometimes our greatest source of stress and strain.

Reframing

Any problem that can’t be solved in 45 seconds, simply hasn’t been stated properly.” Often true. But stating it properly requires the right framework

A big part of our stress management system is in understanding how we think about the situations we’re in, and how that affects us. Our coaches are expert at helping people understand how they think about–frame–the situations they find themselves in.

NLP & Stress

We all confront circumstances–people and situations–that challenge our ability to maintain our focus, equilibrium and overall sense of well-being. That doesn’t mean there is something wrong with us. It just means we need to have a system, a set of strategies, for dealing with those times. Neuro-Linguistic Programming can provide that.
