Why everything we've been taught about managing workplace stress is wrong—and what actually works.

This week, chamber member Carol Rickard, LCSW, delivered a TEDx Talk that challenges everything we think we know about managing workplace stress.

After 34 years working with stressed professionals—from healthcare workers to business executives—Carol discovered a critical problem: We've been dealing with stress at the wrong time, in the wrong way.

The Problem:

Most stress management programs tell you to:

     ➟ Meditate (requires 20+ minutes of quiet time)

     ➟ Exercise after work (when you're exhausted)

     ➟ Take a vacation (temporary relief)

     ➟ Use breathing apps (on your day off)

But when does stress actually hit? During the meeting. Between appointments. In the middle of chaos. When you have zero time and can't step away.

The Solution:

Carol's Stress SMARTER™ System teaches a 2-step method that works in 20 seconds—in real-time, during actual stress. The method comes from neuroscience research on completing the stress response cycle.

The result? Professionals can control stress instead of stress controlling them.
