A Training Program for Defeating Anxiety and Improving Productivity
Disability due to severe anxiety has become an epidemic. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) gradually develops and is often the forerunner to more acute and severe mental health problems such as OCD, PTSD, rumination, depression and worse. GAD is characterized by hostility and excessive worry .
When unable to stop a cycle of worry or hostility it's important to work at trying to prevent the anxiety from strengthening. Rather than be at the mercy of the mental health profession, we can develop skills for managing anxiety and stopping it from worsening and becoming a debilitating problem.
If anxiety is impeding you (or someone you know), this program may be the solution you've been hoping for. Please use contact form below to request more details.

enjoyment skills© help prevent burn-out
Excessive, prolonged stress causes exhaustion and eventually burn-out.
DECIMATES POTENTIAL. Burn-out will often leave people feeling disinterested, resentful, cynical, hopeless. helpless, unmotivated, unfulfilled, unappreciated, disconnected and drained of energy.
UNPRODUCTIVE. Disorganization, missed deadlines and lower quality work are all signs of burn-out. When people are over-stressed focus decreases, mistakes increase and effective time management becomes less likely.
DAMAGES RELATIONSHIPS AND REPUTATION. The efficiency of interdependent "team members" is often negatively impacted by individuals suffering from burn-out. Negativity, cynicism and being disagreeable becomes contagious - and a part of the culture.
UNHEALTHY. People suffering from burn-out take more days off and absenteeism increases. Burn-out is often linked to many health issues - including insomnia, headaches, digestive problems and depression.
DISFUNCTION. An individual can be "at work" while their spirit and mind are somewhere else. Taking many breaks, arriving late, and leaving early - not functioning at a high level is a symptom of burn-out.
COSTLY. Turnover leads to a loss of talent, high costs associated with training replacements, and negatively impacts morale. In addition, burn-out hurts virtually all aspects of team bonding and performance.
A recent GALLUP study revealed 66% of the workforce experience varying levels of burn-out each year. Monitoring for early signs of burn-out is important. Even better is identifying and mitigating on-the-job stress for burn-out prevention (before burn-out seeps into the psyche).

about
Beginning as a commercial real estate adviser in 1984, Mike Wilens' performance and productivity corresponded with how much he enjoyed his work. And this was a problem as fear, stress and anxiety were a large part of each day. Instead of focusing on the difficult circumstances associated with work, for 36 years Mike has been identifying and developing skills for enjoying work (these skills promote achievement). The mental health community recently declared enjoyment a remedy for anxiety and poor performance... Mike has been communicating this message for many years. His book, SECRETS OF HAPPY PEOPLE©. was published in 1994. .
the ENJOYMENT SKILLS© Training Programs
Who teaches us how to enjoy our lives? People are rarely given direction or lessons for being happy. Happy people possess particular skills. Young or old - skills are motivating and if we possess skills for enjoying our lives, it's more likely we'll live happier lives. ENJOYMENT SKILLS© are the qualities that distinguish happy people from those who are not. Everyone wants to be happy, and yet so few people attempt to understand how to be happy. Being happier requires an effort to incorporate ENJOYMENT SKILLS©.
