Are you firefighting right now?

The world is currently coping with unprecedented change.  This means unprecedented levels of not knowing. As humans our brains are hard-wired for certainty; we are not naturally good at ambiguity or feeling as if we cannot plan or control outcomes.

We’re also not very good at noticing we’re stressed until we’re burnt out

As a coach I’ve been helping leaders and teams strengthen trust and build commitment and I have two decades of experience helping people deal with stress, crisis and change.

When stress and uncertainty go up, trust and communication go down and we:

• Struggle to focus and make poor decisions (work ones and health ones)
• Have trouble sleeping and/or feel tired all the time
• Can get angry and critical (fight) or withdrawn and fearful (flight)
• Develop a scarcity-based mindset that leads to blame and competition
• Choose numbing activities; scrolling, binge-watching, over-eating or drinking, endless checking of spreadsheets and forecasts

Sound like you?  Your team?  Your boss?
