A recent Gallup study reveals that U.S. workers are among the most stressed in the world: 83% of U.S. workers suffer from work-related stress. And it’s impacting our work (stress costs businesses and the economy trillions of dollars in absenteeism, low productivity, and healthcare costs) and our health (stress contributes to 90% of all illness and disease).

The Iowa Quality Center — in partnership with the Performance Excellence Network and the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence — is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, April 4: “Reducing Stress, Improving Performance.

The discussion will feature two leading experts on the neuroscience of stress: Dr. Terry Wu, Consultant & Speaker, and Shannon Murphy, CEO BrainSkills@Work. Each will have about 12-15 minutes in a “TEDtalk” format to share his/her insights and suggestions to manage stress.

Terry will start the conversation by exploring several key concepts:

our default way of reducing stress
why poor leadership is the direct cause of high stress and burnout (and what to do about it)
why “typical” resilience training sets us up for failure
what we should do – as leaders, professionals, and just people – when we are stressed out.

Shannon will then share a neuroscience-based framework to manage your state, decrease stress, and increase your leadership effectiveness.

This session is Thursday, April 4 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional networking and mingling 7:45-8:00) using Zoom MEETING. Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion. Free for PEN/WCPE/IQC members; $20 for non-members.
