Stressed out? Who hasn’t been?! Stress seems to be an accepted penalty for the pursuit of anything worthwhile. But what if you could learn to identify the distinct types of stress – and how to respond to it in a way that works for YOU? Join me and Dr. Crystal Frazee as we explore how conditioning and role models set us up for unbearable stress and how getting back in tune with our bodies is the key to stress resilience. Listen in and let us know what resonates!

Best-selling author Matt Schlegel is committed to developing highly effective, style-diverse teams and giving them the tools and strategies to tackle challenges that are seemingly impossible. Principal of Schlegel Consulting, Matt started his career as an electrical engineer and soon realized that successful project outcomes depend more on leading people than leading electrons.

In this final episode of the 3-part series on the Human Project Framework, I share the “Reflect” phase of the framework. I discuss how reflection is so much more than a replay of things you’ve done, and I outline the benefits of intentional reflection. I then discuss, step by step, a reflection approach I use when looking at the progress of my own human projects. Finally, I walk you through what’s next. Reflection has its greatest impact when it arms us with information to adjust our plans and ignite our continued action. If you’re feeling a little scattered or uninspired, reflection might just be in order. I invite you to get curious!

The Human Project Framework consists of three areas – Plan, Act and Reflect. In this episode, part 2 of the 3-part series, I walk you through the “Act” phase of the framework. I share how to establish the big goals that lead to the vision you created in the planning phase. I then walk you through what it means to take conscious, aligned action by building habits. Finally, I share mindset shifts to consider as you create momentum. If you haven’t moved on your vision since you outlined your plan, this is your sign (along with the tools) that you have everything you need to act. Let’s go!
