We assume stress comes from the size of the job. It doesn't — it comes from how much thinking is running while you do the job. Same role, same demands, radically different levels of stress, depending only on what's happening in someone's head.

Two leaders can carry the exact same workload — one burns out, the other doesn't. The difference was never the hours. It's how much of their thinking was spent resisting the hours instead of simply doing the work in front of them.

Let's Break the Myths!

While people don’t enjoy the feeling of pressure and stress, at some level they believe that without it they wouldn’t perform.

Consider that it’s not up to you to perform. It’s not up to you to achieve success, whatever form that might take for you.

There’s an underlying belief, that if the pressure of achieving a goal or avoiding failure didn’t exist, we would simply lie on our couches eating chips and watching Netflix. Not true.

Are you working long hours, prioritizing work above most everything else and still feel like you’re only getting by?

You’re not alone. This is one of the most common issues I hear in coaching sessions.
