Dr. Kitty Boitnott, NBCT, RScP, is a Career Transition & Job Search Coach. She is also the "Go To" Lifestyle Educator when it comes to stress management and work-life balance. Kitty offers seven (7) SUREFIRE strategies that help manage and reduce physical and psychological stress while building resilience needed to deal with the everyday changes and challenges of living in the 21st century. With over 40% of Americans suffering from some stress-related ailment and between 75% and 90% of all visits to primary health care providers being the result of a stress-related complaint, stress is an increasingly important public health concern.
Kitty has written about stress management in her eBook, Stressed, Stretched, and Just Plain Overwhelmed: A Guide to Managing Stress and Creating a Greater Sense of Work-Life Balance. A complimentary copy is available on the sidebar.
Those who experience Kitty's workshop on stress management learn: (1) what stress is and how it affects the human brain and body; (2) what the individual stressors for each participant are because they are given an assessment while in the workshop; and (3) what the seven SUREFIRE strategies that participants can start practicing right away that will reduce their stress reaction while building their physical and emotional resilience for the future.
The strategies provided are research based and timely given the increased concern about the negative effects of stress on our overall health and the need for individuals to intentionally create work-life balance that works.
In addition to being a Certified Life and Stress Management Coach, Kitty has a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership.
She is a featured expert on Careerealism.com, an online ezine that offers job search advice.
Kitty offers workshops and webinars on stress management and work-life balance. She also maintains a blog entitled, "Teachers in Distress," and she moderates a LinkedIn Group by the same name.
Before becoming a coach, Kitty was an educator and teacher leader. She was President of the Virginia Education Association from 2008-2012 and spoke to hundreds of people in groups of all sizes on topics related to public education, education reform, and student advocacy. Now her passion is helping those who have hit a point in their lives when they are considering changing direction and focus but who need to consider how stress is having a negative effect on their lives and their ability to live as fully as they deserve.
