Fighting Invisible Tigers

Professional Skills for Life in the Jungle


Living With Anxiety
     When a person is feeling overwhelmed, confused, and exhausted by the challenges in their lives, at the limits of their coping ability, it’s easy to feel alone, frightened, and terribly vulnerable. It’s as though you’re lost in a scary jungle and being stalked by something dangerous, that you can’t see and can’t name . . . like invisible tigers.

Today's Invisible Tigers
     Many of today’s "invisible tigers" come from the mix of personal, interpersonal, professional, and societal forces that invite stress, and which can push an unskilled person to the limits of endurance. These "tigers" are often unconscious, embedded in the fabric of our culture, our institutions, and even in our personal expectations. Invisible tigers, if not acknowledged, understood, and managed, can lead to poor professional performance, serious illness, emotional disability, destructive coping, and high-risk escape behaviors.

Becoming A Stress-Resilient Tiger Fighter
     In a lively, humorous, and informative keynote or seminar, highly customized for your audience, author Earl Hipp will share his in-depth knowledge of this complex and poorly understood topic. You will learn about the costs of letting invisible tigers run wild, and a variety of practical strategies for becoming a healthy, optimistic, and stress-resilient tiger fighter.

Some of the topics that can be covered in a program for your group include:

  • The psycho-physiology of the human stress response
  • An exploration of the powerful, and often unconscious cultural and workplace norms that actually increase stress
  • Understanding common coping strategy's, why they're employed, and how they can drive high risk behaviors
  • The symptoms people display and experience when they are at the limits of their coping ability
  • Critical personal and professional skills for becoming stress-resilient
