Overview : HeartMath, an innovative research and training center near Silicon Valley, has developed an international reputation for its scientifically validated tools and technologies that have been proved to reduce stress and boost productivity, performance, and collaboration. Based in part on work tested and refined through the Stanford Business School, this program will introduce you to key principles and scientific research to help you prepare for the unexpected, and increase your inner strength, balance, resilience, and overall performance. Experts agree that there are several critical skills that allow anyone to prevent and transform stress as it's happening, as well as to recover more quickly after prolonged periods of high pressure. This presentation will explore the latest model of resilience and its relevance to the demands on executives, its scientific basis, as well as significant case studies which will help listeners consider how to apply its principles. An intriguing dimension will be the role the heart plays in emotional processing, and therefore the development of readiness skills. Why should you attend: High performance athletes, performers and soldiers understand well the importance of thorough preparation and readiness. Most successful business leaders understand that business success - both for the individual performer as well as the organization seeking to retain and delight customers - is increasingly dependent on being "ready for anything" - in terms of flexibility, adaptability, and agility. It is also clear that unmanaged stress in any aspect of life creates the very conditions preventing achieving high performance, good health, and fulfillment. Areas Covered in the Session:Pathways of the stress response in the human systemScientific basis for Coherence in brain and heart physiologyHow the heart and brain can work together to reduce stress and boost resilienceSocial and professional applicationsCase studies from business and militaryNext stepsWho Will Benefit:Executive Team Members and BoardHR Directors, VPs, and SVPsOD Directors and ConsultantsLeadership ConsultantsManagement ConsultantsEntrepreneursBruce Cryer is Global Director, HeartMath HealthCare, founding director of HeartMathUK and HeartMath South Africa, and co-founder of What Makes Your Heart Sing.
