How Can We Best Reduce Stress in Stressful Times?

Coach Laurie explains some key ways to help our brains do better in times of high stress. Try them in your huddles

  1. Start by asking a question of the group such as what are you looking forward to? Check in with each person.

  2. Do a 1-2 minute activity to feel appreciation, humor, or creativity. For example, share a funny story or an appreciation for each person.

  3. Very important: Ask the group for permission for safety feedback. For example, is everyone ok with being reminded by a colleague to keep their hands off their faces when they unknowingly touch their face? Pick a funny code word that can be said in public when your co-worker touches their face. Be sure to ask how each person likes the feedback given. Some people may prefer feedback privately, or they may prefer it with humor.
