This may sound counterintuitive, but did you know that stress can actually work in your favor, according to Harvard Business Review?

Furman’s Center for Innovative Leadership has teamed up with celebrated stress physiologist Dr. Rebecca Heiss to offer a brand-new leadership program titled Furman Fear(less) — a 52-week masterclass starting Friday, April 19 that helps participants transform stress into energy they can use to regain a sense of self + lead a life filled with confidence.

Dr. Heiss, who has a Ph.D. in biology and studied the human stress response, is known for deploying science-backed methods of working through stress and anxiety to make people more effective leaders. The program is split into six chapters:

  1. Know Thyself
  2. Stress, Anxiety & Time
  3. Navigating Fear
  4. Overcoming the Imposter
  5. Boundary Setting
  6. Manifesting Positivity

Pro tip: This program offers both in-person and remote sessions, and participants meet every other month.
