One of biggest influences on how we act and behave is our stress level (real or perceived). On this episode, we talk about stress and work…how it presents in you and in others, how it impacts your work, and ways to manage it so that it doesn’t lead you to becoming a jerk at work.

Key Takeaways:

• Don’t be afraid to have a conversation about stress; approach it with curiosity and consider the lens through which you are seeing the situation, your mood, where the other person is at, and timing
• Figuring out how stress presents in you is an important part of learning how to manage it
• There is an optimal level of stress; be able to differentiate between “growth” stress and “soul-sucking” stress
• Don’t be a jerk to yourself!
