From Functional to OPTIMAL: Facing the Realities of Stress and Kicking It's A**

Learn what stress is, what it isn't, why it prevents you from achieving your goals, and how the right coping methods matter. In this no-nonsense presentation, attendees will be armed with what they need to move from frustration and dread to clarity and momentum.  Professionals look for stress relief by addressing external problems (hire/fire staff, take CE courses, throw money at marketing, etc.), which only serves as a Band-Aid. External solutions are not going to resolve this internal, biological reaction. Learn where stress is present in your business, why it prevents you from achieving your goals, and how to move from functional to OPTIMAL.  In her pragmatic approach, Jen Butler (master executive and board certified coach) debunks the myths behind stress in business and shares how to navigate stressors successfully. Attendees will build an action plan to incorporate practical, effective coping methods with the end result being less stress and higher profits.
