Maintaining the balance
Stress happens. Stress is a reality of professional life. It is those who learn to control their mental and physical reactions
to stress that will thrive. Stress Hardiness is not about eliminating stress from your life; it is about learning to control how
you respond in stressful situations. Mindworks can show you how. In the martial arts, balance is a crucial element. If you
are off balance, it is easy for your opponent to knock you down. It is the same in life and work, if you are out of balance,
the slightest blow will overcome you. If however, you are leading a balanced life, whatever hits you simply bounces off.

Possibility Thinking
When we can work with change and be architects of change it opens up numerous possibilities. Unfortunately the
willingness and flexibility to change can appear frightening yet the opportunities are enormous. So how can we make a
shift in our thinking that allows us to take advantage of changes, see them as opportunities to rebalance our lives and
enjoy living with the potential success and discoveries this can bring.
Laurie focuses on you taking with you an excitement for possibility thinking, the ability to access the Alpha level of mind,
to work effectively rather than harder, be aware of what can be sabotaging success and, at the same time, have a clear
vision and strategies for bringing about the success appropriate for you .
