I grew up at an all-boys boarding school as a “faculty brat.” Later, as a consultant, I was often the only woman in the boardroom. But those spaces didn’t intimidate me—I’d been practicing for them my whole life. Don’t forget—you’re in that room for a reason. #leadership

If your stress is either too low to care or too high to think clearly, you're outside your “sweet spot." Try tackling your most important work when your energy is highest, and use strategies like movement, reflection, or connection to reset when your stress starts to spike.
