STOP THE STRESS™

Help Good Employees Enjoy Work Again—

Before Stress, Burnout and Turnover Take Their Toll



In many cases, retaining just one valuable employee can offset the cost of implementing Stop The Stress™

Stop The Stress™ is part of the Good With Me™ Global Well-Being Initiative

I was ready to quit

"I was ready to quit."

Those were the words Brian shared with me.

At the time, Brian was delivering furniture and feeling the stress that comes from being overworked, doing everything he humanly possibly could to keep up, get ahead, and figure out where work and life was taking him until he felt he couldn't do it anymore.

Workplace Experience Begins with Employee Experience

An employee arrives at work exhausted after a sleepless night.

By noon they're dealing with a growing workload.

By the end of the shift they're wondering if it's worth coming back tomorrow.

However, something started to change when Brian began applying the principles he learned through my work to his daily life.

He began thinking differently.

He started responding to situations differently.

That led to handling everyday situations differently.

The situations didn't magically disappear.

Life didn't suddenly become perfect.

Brian simply learned how to stop allowing stress to run the show.

And he's not alone.

For more than 35 years, I've helped 1000s and 1000s of people discover something important—

Stress isn't created by situations alone.

It's created by what the brain learns to make those situations mean.

That's why two people can experience the exact same situation and respond completely differently.

One becomes stressed.

The other doesn't.

The situation may be the same.

The meaning is not.

When the meaning changes—everything begins to change.

Like many employees—Brian wasn't lazy.

He wasn't unmotivated.

He wasn't incapable.

He was stressed.

And, here's the best part of Brian's story. 

Today he's enjoying being the General Manager of that same company.

How many Brians are working in your organization right now?

Employee Stress is a Costly Hidden Drain on Your Business

Workplace experience doesn't begin when an employee enters the workplace.

A stressed employee doesn't leave their stress at home, nor do they leave it at work.

It goes with them wherever they are.

Recent studies highlight the staggering impact of workplace stress.

What can employee stress mean for your business when 83% of U.S. workers experience work-related stress and 52% report burnout due to their jobs?

Prolonged stress can affect nearly every area of an employee's life, contributing to sleep difficulties, strained personal relationships, reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and—for some individuals—unhealthy coping behaviors such as increased alcohol use.

As many as 75% of employees report stress negatively affects sleep and approximately 60% report it harms personal relationships.

According to SHRM—the Society for Human Resource Management—replacing a single employee can cost six to nine months of that employee's salary.

When workplace stress contributes to burnout, disengagement, absenteeism, and turnover, the financial impact can become significant. 

Helping employees remain focused, emotionally steady, and engaged isn't just good for people—it makes good business sense.

Its hidden costs to the workplace include—

1. Employees spending more time stressed and less time focused

2. People working extra hours just to keep up

3. More mistakes, poor decisions, and preventable accidents

4. Frustrated customer interactions and workplace tension

5. Not enough people to handle the workload

6. Constant schedule changes and the pressure that comes with them

7. Good employees leaving and the costs of recruiting, hiring, and training beginning all over again

Perhaps the greatest cost of all—losing a good employee who simply needed better tools to handle stress.

The good news is that workplace stress is not inevitable.

In fact—high-trust workplaces report 74% lower stress levels.

That's why Stop The Stress™ focuses on preventing stress before it begins affecting employee well-being, workplace culture, customer interactions, and employee retention.

In many organizations, retaining just ONE valuable employee can pay for the entire program—and often much more.

     Why Many Workplace Wellness Programs Don't Create Lasting Change

Most workplace wellness programs fail because they focus on helping employees cope after stress has already taken hold—they focus on symptoms instead of root causes.

Most stress programs teach employees what to do after stress appears.

They teach employees how to—

  • Push through
  • Calm down afterward
  • Manage symptoms once it appears and damage has begun

While these approaches may provide temporary relief—they often fail to address why employees are experiencing stress in the first place.

That's why many organizations invest in wellness initiatives yet continue to experience burnout, turnover, absenteeism, workplace tension, and stress-related issues.

When stress is addressed at its root—organizations often experience...

  • Fewer emotional escalations at work
  • Better focus and consistency
  • Reduced reliance on unhealthy coping behaviors by strengthening internal steadiness and decision-making skills.
  • Improved stability, reliability, and engagement
  • A calmer, more respectful workplace culture
  • Greater consistency in people-facing interactions during emotionally demanding situations

Whole-Person Stress Prevention — Makes This Different

Stop The Stress™ helps employees understand why stress appears in the first place.

That's an important difference.

Instead of focusing primarily on managing stress after it appears, employees learn why stress happens, what fuels it, and how to prevent unnecessary stress before it begins affecting their work, relationships, decision-making, and well-being.

When employees understand the difference between the triggers and the root causes of stress—lasting change becomes possible.

Common workplace triggers include—

  • Workload
  • Deadlines
  • Customers
  • Schedules

are often triggers—not causes.

Neuroscience suggests that chronic stress is often caused by—

  • Imagined threat
  • Fear of judgment or rejection
  • The pressure to fit in or be accepted
  • Long-standing brain conditioning around "being enough"

That's why Stop The Stress™ addresses the whole person by helping employees strengthen—

  • Brain wiring
  • Emotional balance
  • Internal pressure patterns
  • A healthier sense of self that is not dependent on constant performance or external validation

When these shift—stress loses its fuel.

This is why Stop The Stress™ is designed to prevent stress before it contributes to—

  • Burnout
  • Poor judgment
  • Health concerns
  • Self-destructive behaviors
  • Other unnecessary consequences

That's prevention—not reaction.


Case Study Snapshot — From Last Place to #1 in 90 Days

"Tim" (name changed) managed a sales team at Tech Data headquarters, in Clearwater, Florida.

It was ranked on the Fortune 500 and considered one of the largest technology distributors in the world, with approximately 14,000–15,000 employees worldwide, during the Tech Data years before its merger with Synnex.

Tim's team ranked last among comparable sales teams based on sales revenue.

Like many leaders, Tim wasn't lacking experience, knowledge, or desire.

What he was carrying was something much more common.

Stress.

Not because there was a real tiger chasing him.

Because he was carrying worries about results, concerns about what others might think, and the belief that everything depended on him getting it right.

How did Tim's team go from bottom to #1?

Tim's energy changed.

He began seeing himself differently.

He stopped allowing circumstances to determine how he felt about himself.

Tim changed how he responded to situations.

He became less reactive.

More focused.

More steady.

More confident.

As Tim began applying the principles that would later become the foundation of Stop The Stress™—he lifted the performance of his entire team.

Within just 90 days, his team rose from the bottom-ranked sales team to the #1 position.

Tim didn't become a different person.

He changed the way he related to himself and the situations around him.

And when that changed—everything else began changing too

What Employees Experience During The First 30 Days

Week 1 — Understanding Why Stress Happens

Employees begin discovering how stress actually starts in the brain.

They learn the difference between real threats and the everyday situations that often trigger unnecessary stress responses.

Many participants report feeling relieved simply by understanding that they are not broken—and that stress patterns can be changed.

Week 2 — Recognizing Personal Stress Patterns

Employees begin identifying the thoughts, habits, and reactions that may be keeping them stressed.

They learn how the brain creates automatic stress responses and how to interrupt those responses before stress takes over.

Week 3 — Learning Practical Stress-Prevention Skills

Employees begin applying simple and often fun techniques to help them stay calmer, think more clearly, and respond differently when stressful situations arise.

Many begin noticing improvements in focus, emotional steadiness, and everyday interactions quickly—both at work and at home.

Week 4 — Building New Habits for Lasting Change

Employees continue strengthening the new patterns they are creating.

As awareness grows—many find themselves reacting less, thinking more clearly, and handling everyday situations with greater confidence and ease.

This is where many participants begin experiencing what Stop The Stress™ is really about—

Not managing stress after it happens.

They are learning how to avoid much of it in the first place.

A Quick Note

Every employee is different.

The pace of change often depends on how actively a person engages with the program and applies what they learn.

Some employees notice meaningful shifts within days—while others experience change more gradually over time.

The examples above are intended to provide a general picture of what many participants experience during their first 30 days.
