You can download a copy of the Coping Ladder and follow along as we work our way up the ladder from choosing Counterproductive activities to the physical steps you can take to manage the stress. On the way up to changing your perception of the problem and finally to engaging in Courageous Conversations with those around you to actually reduce and eliminate those things that are causing the stress.

Colette's Stress Management program can help you and your organization:

• Adopt a problem solving approach to dealing with stress
• Enhance your awareness of health-promoting techniques
• Increase the benefits from your social support network
• Reduce the negative effects of work and personal stressors

Listen to the conversation, download the lessons, share them with your colleagues, use the ideas yourself.

Talk to you soon, Tim.
