Key Features

24-minute DVD training program; also available for online streamed learning

How can we stay positive and productive when facing stressful situations at work?

We asked 9 people who successfully navigated mergers, acquisitions, economic downturns, rapid growth, layoffs and other big challenges...

to come together and tell us how they did it...

and to cook dinner.

What happens when eight fascinating people with experience successfully navigating challenging or stressful situations at work come together to cook a meal? Insights fly along with the food in "Don’t Panic! A Recipe for Success in Times of Stress”.

In this entertaining and thoughtful video, cooking serves as a metaphor for working through a challenge together.  After the flames die down, the participants enjoy the meal they’ve created and explore insights gleaned from their dialogue.

The program examines five main points:

• Know Yourself

Know what you know, what you don’t know, and the difference between these. Self-awareness is critical to successfully navigating challenges.

• Build Support

Develop a network of people you trust and who trust you both inside and outside your organization. Don’t be afraid to ask for feedback and support.

• Assess Your Situation

Realistically assess the situation you face. Filter noise and rumors from reliable information. Step back and interrogate reality.

• Take Action

Don’t be immobilized by fear. Be resilient in the face of a setback. Remember you always have options and that hope trumps fear. Look for opportunities in a crisis or difficult situation and pursue them.

• Learn from Everything

Look for learning opportunities even in what may appear as bad news. Every shadow has a light source. Find it. Learning is the ultimate benefit from a challenging situation.
