    About this ebook

    The last straw is falling. It may not have landed yet. In fact, you may not be feeling that stressed or overwhelmed at all right now. But life is just like that: just as we get used to living with a level of stress that is manageable, all of a sudden things can heat up without warning. The straw is falling. Somewhere, sometime, perhaps when you least expect it, it will land on you. Are you ready for it?

     

    Author Julie Christiansen (a.k.a. "The Anger Lady") is an international speaker and consultant on topics related to anger resolution, conflict and stress management. Branded as "Oprah for the Office", Julie brings over 15 years of counselling experience to your boardroom, classroom, or conference. While she has often been compared to Jack Canfield or Brian Tracy, Julie has a humourous, no-holds-barred style that is all her own. Julie's other titles include, Anger Solutions: Proven Strategies for Effectively Resolving Anger, Top Ten Lists to Live By, and Getting Past Your Past. Julie is the President and Lead Consultant at Leverage U, where she lives out her mission to create radical, positive, lasting change.
