Because stress is PERSONAL- so is this workbook.  For less than a ‘one-day’ stress workshop, you can allow your staff or yourself to explore stress from an internal and very personal viewpoint – at the console! No overtime, no schedule, just provide each person with an inspiring guide to personal responsibility for stress management and common sense thoughts through personal reflection surveys and exercises.

9-1-1 Under Pressure is a personal e-workbook with 10 chapters and 10 personal fill-in exercises.  Use Adobe Reader to fill in the form or print out the pages and take the personal exercises and LEARN about the most important person in the Comm Center YOU.  Be the ONE to lead, to have a long and lasting wonderful career.  But haven’t you been lectured enough about stress?  Sue has been there and done that; hated it.  “One workshop, the person hired to de-stress us gave us all animal designations. Standing in front of each one of us he labeled us.  I think I was a giraffe. maybe an elephant, or a jackel, I don’t remember.  I wanted to say to his annoying face…and you are a donkey.”
