I’m Tom. I’m a Dad with full calendars and long task lists. I’ve been able to handle frustration and avoid burnout with my kids, career, health, and dreams despite heavy stress from:

  • Money pressure
  • Family needs
  • Parenting
  • Job demands (and losses)
  • Abuse & divorce
  • Aging parents
  • A life-altering bike accident

 

Here’s what you need to know…

When stress shows up we need Skills to transform the everyday worry, conflict, & struggle… into renewal, connection, & strength. Right then, in the moment.

If you’re reading this, I bet you can relate.

Stress

This is how stress came into my life (before I had the right skills):

  • MESSING UP relationship, career, & business choices (I learned what NOT to do. Then, I uncovered easy basics for winning in all three.)
  • FUMBLING in raising 3 kiddos (I tried too hard. I felt not enough. Then, I learned parenting gold for secure, happy, smart kids)
  • POORLY managing people (I fell for the common corporate management traps. Then, I reset my paradigms, got out of the way, and watched the team and results grow!)
  • ENDURING health difficulty from a mountain bike crash, extreme pain, surgery, and recovery. (I reset focus. I found new meaning. I traded a busy calendar for what mattered most to me)
  • SLOWLY discovering new skills for stress. Testing them. Fine tuning. Sharing the most useful findings so you can avoid getting lost or going back to old ways when stress shows up.

Patterns

Along the way, I noticed patterns. Where there was stress you’d find worry, conflict, or struggle. 

We worry about events and what-if scenarios. We misunderstand people and react too often. We struggle with decisions, risk, and time. From mindset to relationships, to career, money, and more. 

Stress can be like black ice on the narrow, winding road of life. It can be hard to see coming. It can cause us to drift out of our lane, across the rumble strips of life, onto the shoulder, and into the ditch (or oncoming traffic, yikes!). The wake-up event is painful sometimes irreversible.

What do we need?

New Skills on a Map

Zero stress is bad. Tons of stress is hurts. Somewhere in between is a “green zone” where stress empowers us.

When we drift outside of that green zone, how can we get back easily and quickly? How can we Transform Stress into renewal, connection, strength?
