If we brush stress under the carpet, or dismiss it as part of the job we risk ignoring its neurological impact. This guide offers practical advice to help recognise the ways stress can show up in your meetings and conversations – it’s not always obvious and the signs can be subtle. Learn to recognise the signs of stress in yourself and others, as this will make people’s behaviour easier to understand.

Learn a key skill of a high performing team; disagreeing well.
