November 2024 Midwest Cyber Security Alliance Meeting | Resilience Awakens: Tapping Into Your Inner Force for Managing Stress Effectively
Join us on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, for a very special Midwest Cyber Security Alliance meeting offering a unique, interactive approach to mental wellness, helping professionals thrive in high-stress environments like cybersecurity.
Sponsor Steve Shelton, CEO of Green Shoe Consulting, will share a Star Wars-inspired presentation designed to equip professionals with the skills to understand, manage, and alleviate stress and burnout. The program will explore the science behind stress, discovering how unmanaged stress can lead to burnout, much like a journey to the “dark side.” Using relatable Star Wars analogies, you will learn how to recognize early signs of burnout and build resilience through practical, actionable strategies.
This session emphasizes the “Jedi mindset,” teaching techniques such as:
- Knowing yourself
- Emotional regulation
- Mindfulness
- Maintaining a growth mindset to stay calm and balanced under pressure
You will leave with tools you can apply immediately in your daily lives to preserve your energy and mental well-being, including:
- Knowing your workplace stressors and identifying how you respond to them
- Two real-time stress management strategies
- Identifying support networks
The session will offer a new perspective on handling stress, viewing it as an opportunity to build resilience rather than a force to be feared. By the end, you will feel empowered to overcome stress, stay focused on your goals, and prevent burnout by tapping into your “inner force” to remain resilient in challenging situations.
