There is a difference between positive stress and toxic stress. Problem-solving and coping skills are examples of positive stress we can exercise for our benefit. However, long-term exposure to stress can have significant impacts on our health. In this presentation, Samantha Pickering moderates a discussion with Peter Keith on the science behind resilience in the workplace. He begins by decoding the four main chemicals that affect behavior and mood, which have an enormous impact on our workplace resilience. He continues to examine the subconscious speech patterns that are limiting our own experience, as well as the five areas that can serve as a source of resilience and strength when applied correctly.
By the end of the video, viewers should be able to make simple but positive changes as a precursor to leading their teams through times of uncertainty and managing ambiguity with decisiveness and clarity.
