The Strategic Edge Announces Freedom From Stress In An Unpredictable World Seminar

March 28, 2017 – – New York, New York based The Strategic Edge has announced an upcoming seminar for those who need to reduce stress. Meredith Gardner, Ph.D., who is the founder of the company, states that employees with workplace skills and strong interpersonal skills are better equipped to dodge and diffuse stressful workplace situations. She points out that stress management skills are as essential as today’s tech literacy or troubleshooting abilities.

“Workplace stress solutions run the gamut, from flexible working hours to futon-equipped nap rooms,” says Gardner. “Some employers encourage mid-day exercise or a retreat to the company’s outdoor, meditative space. While options like these may or may not be a good fit for your organization, strong interpersonal skills provide universal support and there’s much less maintenance required than you may think.”

Gardner says that The Strategic Edge seminar is about using interpersonal skills to combat stress in the workplace. These skills will, of course, spill over into other parts of life. Studies show that nearly half of all American workers surveyed say they need help learning to manage stress. She states that how to empower joint problem solving is essential so that workers are not carrying the monkey on their backs and can successfully encouraged other people to take responsibility.

“You need to know how to encourage better connections with others, and this comes from understanding what those people need from you and it teaches you how to build a stronger bridge to them,” says Gardner. “You need to understand how to effectively engage people to want to help you, because your relationships are stronger and your message is clear. Worrying in advance doesn’t change the outcome.”

“I say this all the time,” Gardner continues, “The outcome is no in our control, so, why worry?”

Gardner says that she does not focus on an internal blue triangle kind of thing in this class. She states that she could never do those visualizations to reduce stress. Instead, the company focuses on developing new practical interpersonal skills that can be implemented right away. She says that those interested will learn the questioning style to help them artfully solicit information through questions without putting people on the defensive.

Detail or big picture orientation is also a focus. “Some people go tree by tree and finally say, oh, there’s a forest. Others see the forest and then think, there are a lot of different trees here. Learn how to develop some patience while adapting your style,” says Gardner.

She states that other lessons include volume, speed and intonation and says that in her experience, people are enduring more and more stress, so this seminar is very timely and provides some needed skills to maintain sanity.

“Explore simple yet powerful methods for managing your reactions to difficult people and situations, stressing you out and causing anxiety,” says Gardner. “Apply tools for distinguishing what’s in your control, and what isn’t. You’ll have an easier time at work and life by dropping the inner conflict. When you do, you’ll be happier and more productive on the roller coaster. Please join us for this significant stress relief session to learn the skills you need to stay stress free.”

Meredith Gardner, Ph.D., is an animated international speaker, coach, trainer, and author. She previously had her own radio program as well as being a guest on local and national radio/TV. She utilizes some of her own stress management techniques to keep balanced during turbulent times.
