Description: High performers love a challenge. And to know in the end that we gave our best. But we often find ourselves working with others who are not as performance motivated. So, we take on more projects and responsibility because we can’t let the task drop or let anyone down--including ourselves. Which is stressful. We know this practice isn’t sustainable, so we take a vacation, go to a yoga class, or invest in time management skills. When none of that works, we either get stuck or burn out and we assume that stress is simply the cost of success. But what if there’s a better way?
Erika Coleman is a recovering overachiever, who decided to solve the downsides of overachieving by getting a Masters in Organizational Psychology from Harvard. (Yes, we heard it too. Recovery is a process.) After 20 years of observing how people interact with themselves and others and two degrees to explain what’s going on, Erika believes it’s possible to do your best without drowning in stress. In this presentation, she’s going to teach you and your team the art of Even-Achieving™.
By the end of this presentation, attendees will…
Identify the two types of acute stress — challenge stress & threat stress — and understand the difference between them as related to high performance.
Recognize when you are experiencing threat stress in order to course correct before it hurts your performance.
Apply the art of Even-Achieving™ by implementing a 3-part framework: Direction, Nurture, Awareness.
