Why is this certification needed now?
People are more stressed now than ever before in human history!
The pace of change has accelerated to the point where most people are having a difficult time keeping up.
The "Information Age" is being driven by the increased rate in development of new technology.
This is great, but there is a price to be paid! It is increasingly difficult to adapt to the rate new information is being generated...
People are overwhelmed! Health and productivity are jeopardized.
How can we help to keep people functioning at a productive level with the physical and emotional symptoms that are caused as a response to stress? How can we assist motivated people to maintain, or enhance, their quality of life and their performance?
