How Not to Get Chased By a Bear | Ryan Foland | TEDxUNLV

Have you ever been chased by a bear? How about an imaginary bear? Your body’s instinct to stay alive is intended to be good for you, but sometimes it can cause trouble. Our brains work a delicate balance to keep us out of danger and free of disease. Understanding how your body reacts to stress is vital for people who lead busy and extreme lives. Being aware of the cogs and gears within your involuntary responses helps you live a happier and healthier life. Ryan Foland coaches leaders on the art of simplifying their words for greater impact. Holding degrees in economics, business, and the dramatic arts, Ryan Foland brings a dynamic perspective to business strategy.
