Stress is a normal reaction the
body has when changes occur
Stress is the body’s reaction to any positive
or negative change that requires an
adjustment or response.

The body reacts to these changes with

physical, mental, and emotional responses.

You can experience stress from your

environment, your body, and your thoughts.

The human body is
designed to experience
stress and still THRIVE.
Stress can be positive, keeping us alert,
motivated, and ready to avoid danger.

Stress becomes negative when a person faces

a serious challenge or continuous challenges
without relief or relaxation between
stressors. This creates tension and anxiety.

Both positive and negative stress that

continues without relief can lead to distress
and or exhaustion

ADVERSITY QUOTIENT

Adversity quotient is a score that measures the ability of a person to deal

with adversities in his or her life...

The term was coined by Paul Stoltz in 1997 in his book Adversity Quotient: Turning
Obstacles Into Opportunities.

A high AQ helps you to consciously anticipate and ultimately flip almost every issue
into success.

4 Key Factors
Control - how much can you control the issue?
Ownership - where could you have made a personal choice?
Reach - what is the impact in other areas of life and work?
Endurance - how can I reduce the time involved or increase my
capacity to cope?
