Course Description

The Upside of Stress

Get up off the sidelines. Thriving in uncertain and demanding times doesn’t happen passively. It requires intentional effort and consistent practice.

Learn to manage the impact of stressful events in your life with proven strategies and tools. Shift your perspective and turn your inner critic into your inner coach and become your own ally.

Explore strategies to effectively manage stress. Paying attention to one's mindset and perspective using practical daily tools can lead to feeling more optimistic. Stress can lead you to reflection rather than rumination. Build self-trust and accountability and lead to moments of celebration.
