Recently, I had the privilege of leading a group of senior leaders through a challenging outdoor experiential learning session. Amidst adversity, I observed three distinct responses... While I'm sure there are other responses, the three response patterns I observed are also consistent with stress responses I've seen in the workplace. Below are the patterns and a helpful question that might support you to pull yourself out of the stress response and resume a more constructive position. Check out the reel for more information. Response 1: "Fighting Back..." Often, we resist accepting the situation. Next time, try asking, "What's here now?" to discover learning opportunities and unseen benefits. Response 2: "Better Than..." Feeling above the situation or too good for it? Ask yourself, "What else is possible?" to open up new avenues for growth. Response 3: "Been Here Before..." Think you've seen it all before? "What's new for me?" can reveal fresh perspectives and lessons, no matter how familiar the scenario. Putting ourselves through challenging experiential situations give us insight into how we handle workplace challenges. Let's embrace these moments as opportunities to evolve, build stronger relationships, and lead more effectively. Which is your default response?
