✦

Identify potential stressors and develop tangible tools or mantras (e.g., a token, a phrase) to interrupt negative thought patterns and maintain a high energetic state.

✦

To get 100% effort from your team, consistently show up with 200% energy yourself, especially in key interactions and meetings.

✦

Trust your intuition for the 'next step' rather than waiting for a complete roadmap; focus on the immediate action that feels right.
