Always lead by example, actions usually speak louder than words. Keep yourself accountable and then you have the right to keep others the same. Try not to complain and never complain to those below you. Have positive solutions for issues, not excuses. Utilize your chain of command correctly, do not overstep. Stay positive, get your tasks done before making sure others have theirs done. Delegate where necessary and make sure what you ask is done to the standard.

I learned that positive distractions outside of work like hobbies can help reduce stress. 

Best practices for me have been to practice infection control at all times, stay organized, and continue education in cosmetology and esthetics; always trying to correct mistakes as they occur.

Learning how to reduce stress in the workplace, is all about knowing when to slow down and taking care of the most important things you are interested in and enjoy the most first, then take care of the things most difficult, making a little extra time for the more challenging things.

I learned things I can't change I can't worry about it!

I have learned that all stress is not bad stress, but you must be aware that stress will come so you could be prepared to deal with it.

I've learned that positive stress is a helpful form of pressure that motivates people to perform better, stay focused, and achieve goals, such as preparing for an exam or starting a new job. In contrast, negative stress occurs when pressure becomes overwhelming, leading to anxiety, fatigue, and reduced performance. While a moderate level of stress can enhance productivity, excessive or prolonged stress can harm both mental and physical health, making it important to manage stress effectively.

While reviewing this course, a quote about ethics within the workplace really stood out to me: "unethical decisions often come from working in isolation." As an [informal] leader, I strive to bring my team together by representing and upholding my own personal values and the values projected by my organization. This quote really struck out because it reminded me of how I used to feel: isolated. In my isolation (both in my personal and professional life), I became the worse version of myself.

The true wisdom lies in understanding that chronic, unmanaged stress erodes health, relationships, and productivity, while short-term stress can sharpen focus and motivation.

I have learned to talk to my manager to get the help I need under stressful situations.  Try to do different hobby to help with stress.   Go away from stress situation just for a little while that makes you happy and then when you back you can reassess and that might fix the stress. 

Make sure to leave by example if you are in a leader position.   Take responsibility for my actions and take credit when it is do.   Always maintain an ethical situation in my work place.

My actions will be either a positive or negative influence on other employees.

A major point I took from this module is how big of an impact individual behavior has. Behaviors spread quickly, so it is important that I am mindful of my practices. 

Great Introduction to my first free lesson.

The manager need to follow instructions and be on time at work. It’s very important to set up personal goal. 

This course was interesting. It helped me to identify areas where I could best utilize my time more efficiently.

Always focus on the things that are in your control and talk with someone when you feel no control to help level out the different stress levels

I learned to never just assume my Boss doesn't value my concerns, but o communicate clearly with respect

Always lead with integrity and intent
