The Modern Humanitarian and Development Leader: Make a Greater Impact by Creating a High Performance Team while Avoiding Stress and Overwhelm

Feeling overwhelmed by stress? What if you could stop it from spiraling out of control before it even begins?

In today's episode, we dive into a profound Buddhist parable that sheds light on how we often magnify our own stress. We explore how the initial stressor, or "first arrow," can be compounded by unnecessary worries and self-judgment, creating multiple "arrows" that intensify our suffering. This episode is particularly relevant if you're grappling with workplace challenges, personal setbacks, or simply seeking ways to manage stress more effectively.

By listening, you'll discover:

• How to identify and address the additional layers of stress you impose on yourself.
• Practical steps to break free from the cycle of amplified suffering by focusing on what you can control.
• Effective techniques for cultivating self-compassion and reducing self-judgment, leading to a more resilient mindset.
