Stress doesn’t stay in your inbox—it leaks into your tone, decisions, and team. In this episode, CEO & well-being executive coach Saeed Alghafri shows why stress is contagious (and so is calm), how leaders set the emotional temperature, and a 3-step method to manage triggers, regulate reactions, and model recovery—without going soft or losing results.

You’ll learn:
• Why leadership stress “ripples” and turns teams silent
• Thermostat leadership: pacing, clarity, presence
• A simple 3-step approach: Notice triggers → Pause (don’t react) → Flip the narrative
• Meeting hygiene that reduces stress (finish early, create buffers)
• Normalize recovery so performance is sustainable
• Pitfalls to avoid: hero syndrome, “always-on” badge, silent suffering
