Hello!

I likely started turning into The Stress Coach when one of the world’s largest brain tumors was discovered in my head. A stress-case in college, I reluctantly enrolled in a stress management class that led to much less stress, a degree in public health, a job as Columbia University’s health education director and now a career as a global stress management speaker, trainer and author. For 25-years, I’ve been privileged to help and learn from 9/11 survivors, educators, business executives, NYPD officers, incarcerated adults, students, cancer patients and lots of other stressed people who want to improve their performance, get better grades, help clients, and just feel better.

In 2004, I founded The Stress Coach to provide innovative training, multimedia webinars, chill apps and more stress-relief opportunities. Whether you are an HR manager, executive coach, campus administrator or an individual looking for help — or ways to help others — these offerings prevent and reduce stress that impedes focus, leadership, communication, weight loss, sound sleep and just about everything else.

I’d like to give a quick shoutout to Stressbusters, one of our premiere programs that gives me great pride. It’s a campus and workplace rockstar that’s reducing stress, loneliness and anxiety for tens-of-thousands of students and staff all year long, including at the University of Arizona and University of Michigan.

After graduating from the University of Maryland where I took that first stress management class, I moved to New York City. I’m glad I did; it’s where I earned a graduate degree in public health from NYU and joined Columbia University’s acclaimed wellness team and Go Ask Alice health Q&A website. New York is also where I wrote The Stress Manager’s Manual, co-authored The Go Ask Alice Book Of Answers, launched The Chill Factory podcast, and where I became a licensed tour guide.

Thanks for your interest and don’t hesitate to say hello.

Jordan
