Everything you know about stress is about to change.
Dr. Alexandra Crosswell is a leading expert on the biology of stress — and what it's trying to tell you.
Stress isn’t something to manage or avoid. It is information.
It’s your body signaling that something important is happening. The response should be to pay attention or change something.
When you learn to read stress in this action-oriented way, you stop fearing intensity. You become more capable of meeting the demands of modern life.
The problem is that most people were taught to avoid or try to ‘manage’ stress. Few were taught how to use it as valuable real-time data. This gap is what I teach.
My work sits at the intersection of behavioral science and leadership. I teach companies and individuals how to answer the question: What is your stress telling you?
I call this stress literacy.
In these rapidly changing economic and societal times we are in, this skill is more essential than ever. It expands your capacity to lead yourself and others with clarity and decisiveness.
Becoming stress literate is a competitive advantage.
INTRODUCTION
Stress isn’t your enemy.
