The Stress Pill

To avoid the peaks and valleys of productivity created by high stress levels, you need employees who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal life. Even when things are going smoothly, the cumulative effects of day-to-day stressful stimuli affect the way people behave.

"I was especially impressed that Dean took the time to research what stresses apply to pharmacists the most, and custom designed his presentation to meet our needs. Our members learned some new stress management techniques, which can be applied during everyday situations." - Charlotte Tripp, Dallas County Pharmacy Association, Vice President

The Stress Pill is a unique program that connects stress and coping in four life areas: Personal, Work, Couple and Family. Learners gain important insights into how stress in one area impacts other areas, how coping resources in one area impacts other areas, how coping resources in one area can be used to decrease stress in another, and how stress, coping resources, and overall satisfaction are closely related.

Success in life is largely determined by the way we see the challenging events and circumstances that are a part of everyone's life. The Stress Pill challenges participants' perception of the realities of life and helps reframe aspects of life in a positive light.

Problem solving: The ability to deal directly with problems and make positive changes to resolve them

Communication: The ability to honestly share thoughts and feelings with others to promote mutual understanding

Closeness: A comfort level with others and the ability to connect with people

Flexibility: An openness and ability to respond to change
