Presentation: Antistress: Making Your Biology Work for You
October 2 2009, Holbrook Chamber of Commerce, by George Bouklas, Ph.D

To address the issue of work stress, we started right away with questions from the audience, reproduced on our Blog page (see the link on the right-hand side of this page to our recent postings).

The Fight-Flight-Fright reflex is behind these solutions. It also addresses psychosomatic disorders that are part and parcel of modern life:

• How do I live a heart-healthy life?

• What contributes to my stomachaches and GI problems?

• Why do I get so itchy? What makes my dermatitis and eczema flare up?

• I feel anxious a lot. I find work nerve-wracking. Why?

• I stiffen up at interviews or confrontations and I don’t do my best. Why?

Hans Selye interviewed our fighting forces during and after WWII and he linked their stress, resistance and exhaustion with the Fight-Flight-Fright reflex. The eighteen skills listed on our website are all anti-stress solutions. They increase flow towards a desired goal and result, and they address the Fight-Flight-Fright reflex. We’ll help you master them.

Seminar: Gerontology Professionals of NY
April 16, 2009, Sunrise of North Lynbrook, by George Bouklas, Ph.D.

On Thursday, April 16, three worlds overlapped for an evening’s conversation: the marketing and service world of the audience, the emotional and phenomenal world of the elderly, and the psychological world of the speaker.  We sought to develop a common picture that would bring these three together.  Dr. Bouklas and Dorothy Gozdziak—a lawyer with a specialty in eldercare issues—had prepared a monograph for the meeting.  Click here for some of the highlights of the seminar.

Seminar: Association for Information Technology Professionals
February 24, 2009, Melville Mariott, by George Bouklas, Ph.D.

Since Information Technology has shifted to a vertical profession and is permeating all levels of the organization, what extra skills do we need to bring to business? That was the question we dealt with this morning. And the answer was to enrich our technical expertise with skillful human interaction. We’ve already established what psychology calls “legitimate authority” in the field based on our skills, knowledge and understanding. As we move to broader positions in the corporation, there is a pressure to extend our authority to the world of relationships.
