What do we do when we feel under too much pressure at work, when uncertainty seems unbearable, or when fear almost immobilizes you?

A common individualistic approach is to put your head down, keep things to yourself, and power through. But this comes at a high cost. In the pursuit of getting things done, we inadvertently say no to meaningful connections. As a result, we feel lost, disconnected, unhappy. Multiply that to hundreds or thousands of people in an organization, and you have a pretty miserable workforce.

In her rawness and earnestness, the thoughtful engineer coach, Andrea Clough, offers a fresh perspective on dealing with fear and pressure as well as her view on ego. She highlights the importance of being connected with yourself before you can connect with others and how we must take action to create and maintain real connections. She identifies areas leaders should work on to build a happy, engaging culture, including awareness of yourself and the people around you, self-development, and learning to accept and express your feelings, even if they're negative.

Overall, leaders or no leaders, professional or personal life, this is a conversation to listen to and ruminate on.
