Disengaging Autopilot: How to Recognize and Fix Workplace Sleepwalking
Indifference is the death of productivity.
We've all seen the employee disengagement figures, with more than two-thirds of all American workers
partially or completely disengaged from their jobs. When you don't care, you let your work degenerate into routine, mindfulness abandoned, so you can just survive the day. Your job becomes little more than a paycheck, so you do just enough to keep that paycheck coming in.

Each day in June, we will focus on one aspect of powerful personal productivity. First, you’ll watch a 3- to 5-minute video of Laura LIVE in studio (not PowerPoint). Next, you’ll complete that day’s accompanying worksheet. By the end of 30 days, you’ll have created a complete personal action plan by doing it one day at a time!
There is no set schedule to view each video – you can login to watch whenever it’s convenient. You will also receive the videos and workbooks for your reference, so you can watch them over and over. As a bonus, Laura will be your private coach for 30 days! You will be able to send her unlimited questions via email for individual help and input.
The Master Key to Managing Stress: The Art & Science of Stress Reduction in Times of Change
What few of us realize is that on-going stress, from daily living (i.e. bills, kids, job, change or uncertainty), which we usually ignore or push down, is the very type of stress, when left unmanaged, affects our mental capacity, emotional stability, and overall physical health, including our immune system. Looking through a business lens, stress is of one of the costliest problems for organizations in terms of direct health costs, absenteeism, disability, and performance. Yet, most
corporations do very little to address stress levels in employees.
In a recent study, stressed rats’ brains showed shrunken neurons in the dorsomedial striatum (an area associated with goal-directed behavior) and growth in the dorsolateral striatum (related to habitual behavior). Also, the hippocampus—central to learning and memory—is damaged by long-term exposure to stress.
This course begins with a discussion of the how stress affects us at an organizational and personal (mental and behavioral) level. Nearly 50% of the course will be focused on real application of tools that rewire the brain and are scientifically validated to reverse the signs of stress on our body. We will end with an interactive discussion and enlightening wisdom (secrets) on how to address the relationship of external and internal elements to reduce or eliminate future stress. This short
course will enhance your performance and improve the quality of your life.
The founder of The Masters Course, Michelle Anne, will walk you through this journey with interactive exercises, scientific explanations, and techniques that she has developed during her 20+ years of study with thought leaders such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, Yogi Amrit Desai, and leading neuroscientists at the American Institute of Stress.
Learn why so many corporations have relied on Michelle to evolve their leadership style, increase innovation and inspire a growth mindset.
