The Microstress Effect

​Ever find yourself flopping into bed exhausted without remembering exactly why? Is your team struggling to do their best work under the pressures of everyday work and life? Dillon’s research on high performers may explain what’s going on. She has identified an invisible, but insidious, form of stress. It's so subtle that you might not even know you're facing it, but it's affecting your performance at work and your everyday life.  We call them “microstresses”, but they pack a big punch. Addressing microstress can have an enormous impact on both you and your team's performance. In this interactive workshop or keynote, Karen will walk your team through understanding the causes and very real physiological impact of microstress, plus personal exercises and small group breakout sessions to identify the most damaging, recurring sources of microstress, as well as tools to assess what sources of resilience you can tap to fight back.
