In this episode, Christina Martini and Debbie Vyskocil discuss: The impact of personal stress on your team.  Moving past the stigma of asking for help.  High-performance coaching of the brain.  Scheduling self-care or tying it to something that is already a habit.    Key Takeaways: It’s a matter of being happy and better, not just being fine. Asking for help to get there is going to make things so much better. Resiliency is one of the greatest strengths that a person can have.  The way we talk to ourselves is incredibly important. You would never talk to a family member or business partner in the same way you talk to yourself.  Finding the tools that work best for you and turning those into habits will help get your brain to an optimal place and be able to bounce back to that place when things get stressful.    "Duke University just recently came out with some data showing that just silence develops new cells in your hippocampus...They're showing that the brain functions better when you just take a couple of minutes of silence in the middle of your day.
