Our focus in this week's episode is calm and how maintaining calm in high-pressure situations can lead to great success. I'm joined by Director Andi Behring and Post Supervisor Jonathan Brody who share some of the ways they keep calm when a situation becomes demanding, as well as how some of their past negative experiences informed the way they would act now that they find themselves in leadership positions. Stay tuned for the end of the episode where we have a chat and meditation with mindfulness coach Dr. Christiane Wolf.
