“I still have pretty much the same
fears I had as a kid.
I’m not sure I’d want to give them up;
a lot of these insecurities fuel the movies I make.”

Description of the Webinar:
Perfectionism,
sensitivities, moral concerns, peers, expectations, and career confusion are
only some of the issues facing gifted youngsters. This Webinar examines the
sources of stress as well as explores specific strategies designed to minimize
stress and develop self-awareness. In the webinar, Ms.
Kane points out that stress is universal and experienced by everyone, and that
“being bright, talented, creative, motivated, smart, ambitious, and even good
looking can add to the stress in your life.” “Academic success
and drive aren’t enough to make life manageable. The world is too complicated
and intense, and it’s changing too fast.” She adds, “There are no easy answers,
simple solutions, or quick fixes for managing stress” but says, “You can learn
to understand why your life gets oppressive, depressive, stressed or otherwise
unhealthy. You can learn to live in a new and better way.” Webinar is presented in PowerPoint format.
