These unique times have led to some of the highest levels of anxiety that have been reported in the general population. Prof. Suzuki will describe a novel, practical, and science-based approach to transform "bad" anxiety to good. This shift from bad to good anxiety can help you accelerate focus and productivity, boost performance and even foster more creativity. You will leave this presentation with a set of concrete tools that will allow you to harness the brain activation underlying your anxiety and make it work for you.
