By addressing stress proactively, you can reclaim a sense of balance, and cultivate awareness that helps enhance your overall well-being and attain alignment in your personal and professional life.
Join Julia Hay, a Leader Coach at Ax-One, for a 2-hour interactive workshop on life balance and effective stress management. Raise your standards by enhancing your awareness of stressors and the effects on your nervous system and, most importantly, implement new habits to create balance in your life.
