Masters of Stress – Turning Pressure into Power
"You come to the stress, or the stress comes to you." – Wim Hof
When life shakes around us, we can choose to be the victim or the captain of our vehicle (Viktor Frankl). In this engaging, science-based talk, Alex Sternick reveals how stress can shift from burnout’s source to a driver of vitality, motivation, and joy. Through practical techniques for emotional regulation, conscious breathing, and rebalancing the body’s acidity&stress response, participants learn to live by freedom of choice — even when control is elusive.
Laugh – But Seriously Now
Laughter is more than entertainment — it’s a gateway to emotional, mental, and physical healing. In this inspiring talk, Alex explores “Laughter” as a conscious act that breaks habits, releases control, and transforms pain into play. Combining insights, Transcending an old set of beliefs, Humordrama, gibberish, and laughter exercises, he shares powerful healing stories — including cases of people facing health challenges who chose a different path. “To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain and play with it.” – Charlie Chaplin.
Our World as a Theatre of the Absurdity
Is there true logic in our world, and why do we cling to it? How do we react when we plan, and life — or God —has different plans? In this thought-provoking lecture, Alex Sternick invites audiences to embrace the unpredictable, turning surprise, crisis, and the unexpected into opportunities for growth, resilience, and success. By adopting a playful, absurdist perspective, we discover how to move forward instead of breaking down — improvising & thriving in life’s unexpected moments.
