If you believe, as I do, that your employees truly are your most valuable asset, you will do whatever you can to help them do their jobs as well as possible.~ Harvey Mackay
Neuro Science shows that under stress, we lose brain cells and, in fact, become stupider. Deep slow breathing activates the nervous system to cascade feel-good chemicals throughout the body, reducing blood pressure; single tasking and focusing on important tasks (studies show the brain doesn’t multi task well); reframing bad situations (looking for new perspective or meaning) all override the fight or flight response. This taking back of control leads to greater engagement, effectiveness and productivity, all of which effect the bottom line.
