You're in the stress doom loop: Here's the escape plan | Brad Shorkend | TEDxPretoria

Behavioural Specialist Brad Shorkend understands stress intimately, it almost killed him! He tells the story of how this happened, how he fought his way back to health, and most importantly how the lessons he learned and the methods that he applied can help millions of other people to get out of their own stress doom loop. Brad Shorkend is a behavioural specialist and performance coach obsessed with helping businesses, leaders, and everyone who wakes up in the morning to go to work to be better at the complicated job of being human. Since 2005 he has worked with thousands of people around the world on how to ‘better human’ at work, and in turn how to build and lead organisations that are awesome places for people to work at, to innovate meaningfully, and to deliver sustainable success in a world that has gone digital crazy. Brad’s global client list reads like a who’s who of businesses, and he is a relentless entrepreneur having founded and successfully (mostly) led over 20 businesses across numerous industry sectors… architecture, telecommunications, fashion, start-up acceleration, music retail, beauty, technology, consulting, FMCG, to name just a few. He is faculty at numerous global business schools and is a published author. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
