PRACTICAL CHAOS® is a four step method to conquer chaos and use it as fuel for transformation to be more efficient in life and at work. This method is the foundation for a series of workshops and lectures that Judy has been facilitating since 2001. Success and serenity are not mutually exclusive even though our lives are impacted by the sensory overload we encounter every day. Such a landscape requires fast-paced decision making, and the cultivation of anti-stress techniques in the face of constant change.

After 20 years in broadcast news, volunteering with people in the last stages of life, and lots of soul searching; Judy shares her method of cultivating an inner warehouse of resilience, and tapping it during the daily challenges of our lives. As conscious human beings we generally rise to the occasion in a time of chaos. Sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember the brilliance of who we are, and the strength and fortitude that we possess.

In the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, Judy used the PRACTICAL CHAOS® techniques to handle the pain of the tragedy without burning out in her job as a reporter. It's all about "consuming the chaos of the moment."
