Keynote Address

Stress is killing us, and we all know it. Dr. Bruce Wilson, cardiologist and Medical Director for the Institute of HeartMath, will discuss the scientific research behind the human stress response and the consequences of living with this physiology in today's world. He will describe how stress creates alterations in our internal chemistry, which play a role in many diseases, especially heart disease. Dr. Wilson will demonstrate technology showing how the heart communicates with the brain, radically altering brain function during times of stress. Finally, he will discuss how easily the HeartMath® tools to break this response are learned, and share data on the results seen in Fortune 100 companies, the military, police and fire departments, education, and health care institutions that have implemented these tools.

People interested in higher levels of performance, more efficient communication, improved job satisfaction, enhanced customer relations, reduced stress, and fewer health care dollars spent will be fascinated by this talk. Corporations planning retreats, professional associations, or any organizations wishing to be educated and entertained at the same time will find the material presented to be groundbreaking in nature and delivered in a format that will be remembered for a long time.

Stress Reduction Seminars - Transforming Stress

Increasing stress, constant change and rising pressure challenge us both as individuals and as organizations. How we navigate through this intense pace of life impacts the health and resiliency of our patients, families, staff and the growth of our organizations. It is important to learn tools that quickly re-balance physiology in order to maintain the highest level of performance and health. Tested on five continents, the Transforming Stress one-day program combines research-based tools and technology that produces significant, sustained improvements in stress levels, cognitive state, emotional well-being, and physiology. You learn simple tools that give you the ability to respond dynamically and effectively to the accelerating speed of life , specifically:

Format:
The program is a full day classroom workshop with interactive and individual exercises, and includes a presentation of some of the latest scientific research on perception and intelligence. A unique feature of the program is HeartMath's proprietary interactive software learning system which provides users with real-time feedback of the physiological impact of emotional stress, but more importantly, trains the user to activate the higher performance state on demand. This one-day program is also available as two separate half-day programs. These modules are meant to be done in sequence, but half-day programs can be specially configured as well, which teach the basic HeartMath tools with an opportunity to attend an advanced seminar at a later date.

Individual Training

One-on-one training is available at Wilson Heart Care. Individuals wishing to learn the HeartMath tools in this setting, or patients being referred by their physicians, may call to arrange appointments for this training which consists of two sessions. Follow-up sessions for continued learning are available by special appointment.

HeartMath in Healthcare

The Health Care Division of HeartMath was created in order to help reduce stress and improve care in hospitals, clinics and practitioners' offices. Dr. Wilson, having learned the power of the HeartMath tools and techniques to lower stress and thereby improve cardiac health, helped create this division in 1999. HeartMath programs are now delivered in many hospitals and health care systems. Marked reductions in nursing turnover rates have been realized by many institutions, often saving millions of dollars per year. Job satisfaction and performance have improved significantly, translating into dramatic increases in patient satisfaction and higher quality care. HeartMath tools are now being taught by the nursing staff directly to the patients, resulting in better pain control and lower anxiety around surgical procedures and emergencies. HeartMath research projects are underway in many well known academic medical centers and community hospitals.

Large health care delivery systems, as well as insurance plans, are now incorporating HeartMath training into their wellness and prevention programs. Individual HeartMath learning sessions are available for patients (and people who wish not to become patients) through Dr. Wilson's office, as well as through the offices of other health care and complementary providers. Well over 50,000 people on five continents have been trained in the use of the HeartMath tools.

HeartMath and Golf

The HeartMath tools have been very effective for golfers of all abilities. Dr. Wilson has worked with leading PGA and LPGA teaching professionals as well as players on the tour to help them manage the inner game and enhance learning. Many golfers have not only improved their scores, but also report a much greater enjoyment of the game. Special seminars for corporate or executive retreats that combine HeartMath and golf can be arranged. Those who understand the connection between golf and life will be pleased to know that the HeartMath stress reduction tools work very well in both endeavors.
