Stress. Most people feel this at some point during the day--either on the road, or on the job. In small amounts, stress can help you focus your attention and improve your performance. But too much stress, too often, can undermine your performance and damage your health.

Program highlights:

• Unexpected symptoms of chronic stress.
• Good stress vs. bad stress.
• Three techniques to manage stress (avoidance, short-circuiting, mitigation) with examples of when to use each.

Stress also undermines your company's bottom line, by increasing absenteeism and decreasing productivity. But you can do something about it. In this new Stanford video program, you will learn from experts about the causes of stress and proven ways to lessen its negative impacts.

Use this video and accompanying guidebook to optimize your company's overall stress levels--and gain valuable insights to enhance your own personal well-being.
