How often have you personally witnessed or experienced presentations that don’t engage the audience?
Seminars that are too riddled with abstract concepts and buzz words that they fail to communicate simple, memorable solutions to the challenges you and your employees face daily? Marsha has seen and experienced this herself, watching the clock in a seminar as the minute hand slowly ticks by, so she approaches her seminars with a contagious energy that engages the crowd and more importantly, gets them thinking about what they need on a daily basis to control stress, improve clarity and achieve their professional and personal goals.
Give your managers and employees the skills they need to perform effectively under high pressure. Many big names in Corporate America realize that stress is zapping their workforce of efficiency and innovation.
Rather than approach stress with graphs and statistics, Marsha Pappas uses her trademark humor intermingled with hard data to explain how stress zaps productivity and efficiency and what every person can do to get back their clarity, motivation and positive attitude.
Participants will learn how to:
• Identify stress triggers and how to manage them
• Focus the mind where you want it to go, to achieve results more quickly and effectively
• Enhance personal productivity

Sample Workshop: Desktop Yoga
Need a Stress Tune Up?
Stiff neck…fatigue...tight shoulders...backache...headache...
common complaints for those who sit in front of a computer all day.
You can relieve these computer related complaints by using simple exercises and breathing techniques while in your workspace. Marsha suggests using cues to remind you to stretch and breathe during the day. Stretch your arms overhead while reading online documents or take a deep breath when the phone rings before rushing to pick it up to improve clarity and focus.
Desktop Yoga is designed for people with little or no time. It teaches office workers how to integrate physical and mental stress reduction techniques into their workday while performing everyday office duties. For example, have you noticed how much of your day is spent waiting? Waiting to log on, waiting to download, waiting for a meeting to begin, and waiting in cafeteria lines or in traffic? Transform your “wasted” time waiting into meaningful, stress-reducing exercises that are easy to do!
Benefits of "Desk Top Yoga" Workshop:
• Chair yoga relieves chronic tension in the shoulders, neck and lower back which results from long hours sitting at a desk
• Workplace stress reduction techniques to bring calm and improve clarity as well as energetic focus
• Basics of desk ergonomics and aspects to be aware of to prevent repetitive stress injury
• Learn the 101's of mind control; escaping from reactionary mind-chatter thinking to conscious decision-making
• In addition, the recommended package includes five (5), 30minute follow-up visits to help participants in the program stay on track and improve their health
To make this practice complete each participant will be given a 20 minute deep relaxation CD produced by Marsha, a handout of a recommended daily routine to be posted at the workspace and a short stress test to evaluate the participant's current stress profile.
