We had a wonderful speaker yesterday during our monthly IAAP lunchtime meeting. As some of you know we are in the process of having a corporate IAAP chapter and we only need a few more members to be chartered with IAAP.
Dr. Crawford spoke to us about All Stress Up & Nowhere to Go. He is a wonderful speaker and he is looking forward to having the opportunity to speak at other IAAP Chapter, Division or International meetings.
Dr. Crawford's Bio:

Over the last 25 years he has created over 3200 presentations for such organizations as Sprint, Shell, The Texas Medical Center, PBS, and many other organizations and professional associations nationwide. He has a unique perspective on achieving success that he calls "Life from the Top of the Mind" and he shares this philosophy with such humor and energy he is constantly referred to as the "Steve Martin" of corporate America.

All Stressed Up & Nowhere to Go!
Everyone has heard the statistics . . . 75% of professionals describe their lives as "very stressful" and with the pace of change and increased demands on our time chances are good that it's just going to get worse! Plus, even though everyone is experiencing more stress than ever, they are also tired of traditional "stress management" and people giving them simplistic answers to life's complex problems.
In this presentation, psychologist Dr. Bill Crawford addresses this problem by first explaining why this level of stress and frustration is so prevalent, and why so much of the advice about how to deal with these problems will never work! Then, using a conversational style that is free of psychobabble, he uses the latest research on the brain to outline a concrete, comprehensive system for dealing with stress and accessing the clarity, confidence, and creativity necessary for success in today's world.
