Return To Leadership Development Article Archive   Executive Coaching Secrets to Stop Worrying and Relax - The Brain Science of Productivity By Maynard Brusman Stop Worrying and Relax Are you unrelentingly busy and often feeling overwhelmed with a To Do list that seems to grow like Topsy? I was recently facilitating an emotional intelligence workshop. One of the executives was fairly stressed constantly checking his messages on his blackberry cell phone. He was so distracted. I suggested that he might be less anxious and more productive and stress resilient if he learned to take time during the day to breathe deeply and reflect and be present in the moment. Fortunately, he was open to the suggestion. Are you frenetically busy or energetic and highly focused and productive? Everyone you meet these days is overworked and out of time. In our tech-enhanced world, we have more time-saving helpers and systems than ever before. So, why is there insufficient enough time to juggle our work, home and health responsibilities? We have an enhanced quality of life, but we are also adding to our stress levels by taking on more tasks than we have resources to handle. Most people are stressed and out of patience and out of time. Neither advanced educations, nor time-management models, nor the variety of available organizing tools have given us a sustainable means for managing 21st-century demands. It does not matter which we use: Microsoft Outlook, a Day-Timer, PDA or iPhone. They are inadequate to handle the speed, complexity and changing priorities of our work environment today. There is a tremendous need for new methods, systems and, above all, habits to keep us on track. We need to learn how to think clearly about our work before we undertake it. Thinking in a concentrated manner to define desired results is something few people do. But focusing on desired outcome thinking is one of the most effective methods available for being purposely productive. Working with a seasoned executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help you become a less stressed and more purposeful and productive leader. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become happily engaged with the strategy and vision of the company.
