In a 24/7, rapidly changing, always on, “do more with less” world, not surprisingly, individual stress and interpersonal tension can influence the organizational climate, communication, and coordination. The challenge becomes sustaining resilience and morale while forging cooperative and productive working relationships and partnerships. How does a team generate a “Helmet’s Off” atmosphere where meaningful issues can be identified and engaged in a collaborative spirit? Are you ready to challenge the old saw: “There’s no ‘I’ in team!” Can you disarm constructive power struggles that engage others while affirming your integrity; can you set appropriate boundaries while building trust? During these rapidly changing and turbulent times, let the Stress Doc help you break down barriers and build bridges toward greater team coordination and leadership-partnership learning systems.

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for the great training yesterday! I really enjoyed it and feel that everyone really liked having the interaction amongst our groups. It really helped us all learn more about each other which was nice.
