The core of well-being is nurturing a strong, healthy, resilient mindset. Your brain gets easily tripped up and turned “off” by all the daily distractions and obstacles that pop up. No matter how “smart” you may be, your brain isn’t built to process all the thousands of pieces of information that come at it each day. When your brain feels overwhelmed, it stops its healthy “thinking’ mode and defaults to the more primal “emotional” mode. That’s when we start making poor behavior choices and unwise decisions that can have lasting and destructive consequences for ourselves, our team members, and others in the organization. We can use our brain to manage and create the emotions we want to experience at work. We are not taught how to coach our brain “ON” – this episode does just that. Guest: Deb Smolensky
