The Executive Function Podcast

Inspired By Fear: Kris Jennings Ep 75


Listen Later

Hey, Team!

Most of the time, we tend to avoid what we fear, and this works okay...until it doesn't. Kris Jennings, author and change leader, teaches us how to both manage and grow from fear.

Having struggles with executive function can mean feeling stressed by and possibly fearful of heavy cognitive tasks or life transitions. On the flipside, when fear takes over our brains, it can be hard to use our executive function! Fear is an important consideration when we're growing executive function.

Living with PTSD, Kris knows fear well and has developed tools and perspectives to use her fear as fuel for growth and living a meaningful life. On the show, Kris shares practical ways to befriend your fear as well as her executive function hacks for writing.

I think you'll love our conversation! Let me know what you think.


All my love,

Sarah

About Kris:

I help change agents and leaders learn how to make organizational change faster and easier by growing their influence.

I pursue my passions for health and creativity by exploring new places several times a year. My recent trips include swimming the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia with my oldest son, making encaustic art in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, yoga in the jungle of Costa Rica, and beautiful southern France with my husband. Wherever we go, we eat well! (Food is art + love.) 

Writing will always be a core part of how I share my expertise. Read about making change easier in my booksubscribe to receive articles, or connect on social media.

Join me in making change in our world more positive for humans. 🧡
