Taking the Stress out of Leadership
Taking the Stress
out of Leadership
This is my core area of expertise. Research suggests stress affects your well-being and performance which can quickly lead to over-work and burn out. I deliver a pragmatic set of tools that support you both as an individual and in recognising the stress in your staff and your family.
If you’d like me to speak at your organization/event, invite me to a convention or conference, interview me, or have me write for your publication, please contact me.
