Gladstone Rethinks Stress with Mindset Expert Alia Crum

On April 15, 2016, Alia Crum, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Stanford University, visited the Gladstone Institutes to shed light on how a person’s mindset is directly linked to their stress. Crum encouraged the Gladstone community to explore how stress impacts their work and personal life.

Gladstone recognizes the challenges involved in managing a balance between work and life and strives to cultivate an atmosphere that improves the quality of that balance among its community.
