Potentially life-changing

As a manager and father of three kids, stress is no stranger. We all experience it. This series rightly points out that stress isn't necessarily a bad thing. But to flourish in life, it's important to understand and master stress. Professor Wegmann provides great, science-based information, along with really helpful advice. She was much wisdom and is a natural teacher.

good course, awful voice and delivery

the course IS good.
Reflections in it are worth having and insight is good.
The sore spot are voice and delivery.
The presenter is an accredited authority in the field, BUT she sounds like a not-so-bright teenage reality show brat with singy-songy delivery and phrases inflected like questions.
Also, I am not sure whether it is a lisp or simply a regional accent, but she has issues with the sound "S": stress or strong become SHHH-tress and SHHH-trong in her mouth.

Couldn’t get through it

Even though this was only a 4 hour investment, the author has a grating voice. She sounds like she’s 16 and mispronounces a lot of words. “Impor-int” and “expecially” was driving me crazy. And she has a tendency to raise her voice during statements so everything sounds like a question. Would have been a good idea to hire a professional to read the book, as I wanted to understand the material but the voice was unbearable.

Good content, truly awful reading

The author sounds like a teenage Valley Girl. Her sentences sound like questions. Often? like many questions? within one sentence? How has a professor never taken a speech class? The awkward mid-sentence pauses and question-statements made it nearly unbearable to listen to. So distracting.
I forced myself to keep listening, though, and eventually got used to it and could start hearing what she was trying to say. I appreciated the point at the end about Challenge Response and Tend and Befriend.
I'd stick with books by better readers, though.
