The Microstress Effect: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems–and What to Do About It

If you feel exhausted by everyday life, you’re not alone. In today’s hyperconnected 24/7 world, most of us are “on call” to people in both our personal and professional lives at all times. But what high performers and other intelligent people fail to realize is that our connections with other people – even those we care most about – trigger an avalanche of small stresses that snowball to the point where it affects our well-being. In this enlightening webinar, bestselling author and leadership expert Rob Cross will point to new and original research to describe the recent phenomenon perpetuating this ongoing crisis of well-being—microstress. Unlike stress, which is often driven by one big thing, microstress is a relentless accumulation of small, often unnoticed stresses—that infiltrate both our work and personal lives—and come not from one single antagonist, such as a demanding client or micromanaging boss, but from the people we are closest to our friends, family, and colleagues.

Cross will deliver small steps anyone can take to build resilience against microstress, like finding purpose in everyday life by forging authentic connections with others, making time for the things that matter, and finding ways to be your true self in work and life.
