9:00 a.m. Resiliency Skills for College Administrators: Stress Management Skills for Peak Performance

David & Karen Gamow of Clarity Seminars Inc. know that really good administrators inspire loyalty, draw the best out of their colleagues, and are excellent communicators. These principles are often taught in leadership training programs, but are rarely remembered in the heat of battle. This is because leadership, like every other human endeavor, begins in the mind. Until our mind and emotions are under our control, what we know, and what we do are two separate things.

In this acclaimed workshop, our presenters will share a process of stress elimination and prevention that will serve you well beyond your week at Admin 101. You will gain an understanding of, and be able to communicate more effectively with difficult people; you’ll enhance your own resiliency to meet challenges and recover more quickly from adversity; and you’ll discover ways to work more effectively under pressure with calmness and clarity.

David and Karen have received accolades from around the country for their program and have provided stress management training for managers at Stanford University, NASA, GE Healthcare, the US Social Security Administration and many other organizations. Co-authors of the book “Freedom from Stress”, their work has been featured in Investor’s Business Daily and the San Jose Mercury News and we’re bringing them to Admin 101 to share their proven strategies with you.

What you will learn will help you consciously choose your responses in stressful situations and identify your own habitual reactions that tend to derail your effectiveness as a manager and a leader. You’ll immediately de-stress and you’ll internalize techniques that will stay with you as you return to campus to meet the challenges that will inevitably arise!
