I’ve learned that the best way to handle it is through structure, communication, and perspective.

​

I start by breaking complex problems into smaller, achievable parts and prioritizing what truly matters. I stay transparent with my team and stakeholders so we can realign early instead of firefighting late.

​

Personally, I manage stress by keeping a calm mindset — I’ve found that staying positive and composed helps the team stay grounded too. 

​

You’ve probably heard of signal to noise ratio. I have a pretty good grasp on it.

​

What I do is tune in to just the signals throughout the day — the work that creates impact, clarity, and productivity.
And then tune-out the noise  and everything that distracts us — the mental clutter or anything that is unproductive.

​

Because when we tune that ratio right, we get time back, stress is down, and productivity up.
