#1- Can I use my work stress for good? with Dr. G

Thank you for joining us for Episode 1.

On this week’s show we have resilience expert Dr G. breaking down the myth about all stress being evil.

We talk about using stress as a motivator under the right circumstances, empathy being a core tool of work, and practical strategies for navigating a stressful work environment.

You’ll hear Dr. G at the end of the show say she hopes that “people decide that when they note the stress they are feeling or someone else is mentioning, that they will try to figure out how it can be useful to them.”

We jump right into the conversation kicking off with Dr. G’s tips for resilience in the today’s workplace.
