All of us are pretty familiar with stress. Work stress. Personal stress. As responsibility grows, so does the pressure to succeed and not let people down. But too much stress is dangerous. We've got to find a way to handle it, process it and minimize it if we're going to thrive in a sustainable way. The question then becomes...how?

In this episode, Amanda and Jon talk about:

• How we can use our strengths as a stress-control strategy
• When we need to be careful of our strengths creating stress (instead of reducing it)
• Why awareness of your strengths is Step 1
• Where managers need to watch out when it comes to strengths and stress
• ...and more!

Stress is a given. It tells you that something needs to change – but we can't let us control us. Consider using your strengths to reframe stress and turn negative energy to the positive!
