Title: 5 Ways Executive Coaching Can Reduce Your Stress
15 Ways Executive Coaching Can Reduce Your Stress
2Better understand the stress response When you
face a threat, stress hormones flood your system,
producing a reaction known as the
fight-or-flight response. Your brain identifies
the danger and then sounds the alarm, preparing
your body to either stand and face the threat or
seek an escape.
3Identify your stress triggers Part of
controlling your stress involves becoming more
aware of the situations, events and people that
set off your stress response. Through the
executive coaching process, you can learn when
and why youre triggered, as well as how to
minimize or eliminate the triggering perspectives.
4Learn how to better manage your thoughts, moods
and energy Your thoughts and moods have a
profound impact on your day-to-day performance,
energy level and results and most people spend
the majority of their day stuck in
energy-depleting states of stress, frustration
and overwhelm, often needlessly.
5Learn stress management techniques Executive
coaching can teach you how to most effectively
calm your brain and body, thereby allowing you to
view things from a wider perspective. These
techniques include focused breathing,
visualization and mindfulness meditation.
6Create long-term, systemic change By increasing
your self-awareness and practicing these
techniques, you will be forging neurological
shifts in your brain, leading to new responses to
circumstances, conversations, conflict and your
environment improved personal and professional
performance and an increased capacity to change.
