Better understand the stress response: When you face a threat, stress hormones flood your system, producing a reaction known as the “fight-or-flight” response. Your brain identifies the danger and then sounds the alarm, preparing your body to either stand and face the threat or seek an escape.
Identify your stress triggers: Part of controlling your stress involves becoming more aware of the situations, events and people that set off your stress response. Through the executive coaching process, you can learn when and why you’re triggered, as well as how to minimize or eliminate the triggering perspectives.
Learn how to better manage your thoughts, moods and energy: Your thoughts and moods have a profound impact on your day-to-day performance, energy level and results — and most people spend the majority of their day stuck in energy-depleting states of stress, frustration and overwhelm, often needlessly.
Learn stress management techniques: Executive coaching can teach you how to most effectively calm your brain and body, thereby allowing you to view things from a wider perspective. These techniques include focused breathing, visualization and mindfulness meditation.
Create long-term, systemic change: By increasing your self-awareness and practicing these techniques, you will be forging neurological shifts in your brain, leading to new responses to circumstances, conversations, conflict and your environment; improved personal and professional performance; and an increased capacity to change.
