Greater Seattle Chapter, January Meeting: "Less Stress, More Success"

A BREAKFAST MEETING! ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 5TH

Our Thursday, January 5, 2006, meeting will be a BREAKFAST MEETING, at the Best Western Executive Inn (200 Taylor Ave N). Our program will be timely--starting 2006 with positive and helpful information to reduce the feelings of stress in the workplace and other areas of your life. Please consider inviting coworkers or others in your life who may benefit from this program.

Our speaker is Patricia Klingler, CPC (Certified Professional Coach), of "Xplore Your Zing! Coaching." The program topic is "Less Stress, More Success."

Consider this: 80% of workers feel stress on the job, nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress, and 42% say their coworkers need such help. More than 50% of adult Americans suffer adverse health effects due to stress. Patricia will speak to the Greater Seattle chapter of ARMA about a pressing social and workplace issue - personal stress.

Patricia's specialty is helping people cope with stress. Both men and women are afflicted; hence the prevalence of stress in the home, community, and workplace. In the workplace, stress can affect productivity and bottom lines in the work environment. It's easy to see someone in a fit of rage or with a regular pattern of absenteeism. And what about "invisible stress," which sometimes has a greater impact? Patricia will speak about techniques and strategies that can help us identify some common stressors in the workplace, and steps that can be taken to alter the occurrence and the impact of stress behaviors.

She promises that we'll leave her presentation:

• understanding how stress manifests itself


• recognizing the benefit of empowerment and personal choice


• providing tools that can minimize the likelihood of stressed employees
