HOUR 98: HBR Ideacast podcast with Sarah Green Carmichael - Episode 553: Handling Stress In The Moment with Amy Gallo.
This is one slick, professionally produced podcast from the Harvard Business Review that I know everyone will enjoy.
My brother-in-law, Stephen Pozzebon, joined me today for my hour walk / podcast review and these are the takeaway points we’d like to share.
- When someone asks you to do X…don’t overthink what they are asking of you. Don’t read anything more into the conversation. What they say and what you hear, and interpret, can add to your stress, so be aware of this.
- If you’re given a deadline for a particular task, ask them directly, ‘When do you really need this done by’? You may be surprised that their initial deadline is actually flexible and this could give you a few extra days and also eliminate a stressful situation.
- Change your environment: If you’re in a stressful situation at work, it may be a good idea to remove yourself from that environment and go and have a coffee at your favourite coffee shop (or another happy place). Sometimes having a mindless chat with someone outside of work can be exactly what you need to diffuse a potentially stressful situation and reset your mindset.
