Stress That Motivates

Description:
The course was designed to cover critical business and professional development topics in the shortest time possible. With a wealth of hands-on exercises, the course keeps you engaged and help you retain critical skills.

Stress is an inevitable part of life. There are many courses out there that seek to eliminate stress, but what about putting stress to work instead? Stress That Motivates introduces readers to this revolutionary way of thinking through “self-talk secrets” and insights that will not only help them recognize their stress triggers but will motivate them to consciously change the way they think and react to stress. The course provides added guidance for practicing the Stress That Motivates system through revised case studies and Dru Scott’s Quick-Start Set of Reinforcements. The expanded first half also includes a new toolkit for self-motivation in stressful situations.
