★ Talk #1: How to Make Stress Your Friend

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.

Kelly McGonigal translates academic research into practical strategies for health, happiness and personal success.

★ Talk # 2: The Art of Being Yourself

In this talk, McHugh encourages viewers to embrace their unique qualities and strengths, rather than trying to conform to external expectations. She discusses how embracing our differences can help us build resilience and overcome challenges.

Caroline McHugh helps people effectively be themselves for a living. Here she presents us with a fascinating talk on the subject… Take a few minutes and enjoy!
