Every WOMAN Conference Whistler

Posted by Yardstick Administrator. Posted in Speaking Events.

Alyson will be leading TWO workshops at this year’s conference:

Stress & Perception

Most people believe that stress is caused by external circumstances; however, the physical and psychological impact of stress is a complex combination of interacting external and internal factors, such as our perception. Thus, two people may experience the exact same “stressful” event and have very different psychological and physiological responses. During this workshop, you will learn the role of perception on stress and will learn some skills on how to begin adopting new cognitive scripts that will help greatly with stress management in your everyday life.
