Description

As proposal professionals, we work in a high-stress environment, and we spend a lot of time sitting at our desks. The shocking truth is, even if we work out for an hour a day, seven days a week, that’s not enough to counteract the other 23 sedentary hours! So, what can we do to prioritize our health and manage the stress of working in the RFP space?

Cheri Fisher has been a fitness professional for more than 20 years, working in both commercial gyms and community parks and recreation. She spent the last decade in the corporate fitness space, helping employees incorporate movement into their days and running nutrition and stress management programs. Today, she serves as Project Operations Manager here at The RFP Success Company.

On this episode of the podcast, Cheri joins us to discuss the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle and share the three keys to staying healthy despite working in a high-stress environment.
