Season 2 Episode 19: Resilience and Redefining Stress
or wherever you get your podcasts
With Evan Singer, Founder and Chief Human at Human Speek.
On this episode, we are joined by Ex-NFL, Ex-Uber turned people first, EQ driven entrepreneur, and stress coach, Evan Singer. Evan has used his experiences at Uber during hyper growth and at the NFL to use a human-centered approach to leadership, communications, performance, and well-being through identifying ego, understanding stress and evolving mindset and resilience. We chat about the individual human connection to stress (why we experience it and how to manage it) and how organizations can inflict or alleviate stress on the system and its people.
“Stress is my ability to manage situations with the perception that I do not have the resources to manage it.”
Here is what you will learn in this episode:
The reactive and self-preservation role stress plays and the primal brain’s response to threats and emotions. And the opportunity for us to use our evolved mind to identify and observe stress to mindfully find thoughts that provide relief to stress.
Elements of organizational systems and behavior that can cause stress including fear of failure, perfectionism, confusion, and ego. The impact to employee, the organizations ability to be effective, drive innovation, and build an authentic culture.
The role of organizations to create cognitive ease and human-centered solutions to reduce stress, eliminate complexity, celebrate failure and provide tools for more resilient, happier and healthier humans in the workplace.
How to practice empathy as a neutralizer of harmful stress and how to shift mindset around stress to better build resilience.
