Dealing With Stress to Increase Performance

Tuesday, Nov. 8, 3:00–4:10 p.m.
Presented by Dr. Jeff Ashby

A growing body of research indicates that stress negatively affects our productivity, concentration, problem-solving, decision making, communication, physical health, relationships and sense of well-being. Organizations that deal effectively with stress employ individuals that are more flexible, more productive and live longer, happier lives. This presentation will explore where stress comes from, what stress does to us, and what we can do to ensure more productive and healthier organizations, work groups and personal lives. The founding principal and president of Summit Performance Group, Dr. Jeff Ashby is director of the Ph.D. program in counseling psychology at Georgia State University and a licensed psychologist. He has more than 18 years experience consulting on team dynamics, communication, leadership, and stress management in both corporate and nonprofit settings.
