They say everything is a priority. Shrinking resources, increased workloads, and AI threats are intimidating high performers.
The stress from unrealistic expectations is increasing. It might show up as sleep issues, anxiety, Isolation, depression, or inability to focus. And if you’re honest, you are not treating people well.
Honestly, with over 25 years focused on behavioral change as a licensed Professional Counselor, I can say it won’t be the others changing. This is gonna have to be initiated by you.
