Last week was all about emotional support for our teams. This time we turn our focus toward leaders, because no one is immune to stress — no matter your title.

Ever heard that line about putting on your oxygen mask first so you can help others? Dr. Rob Patterson highlights why leaders have to pay attention to their own needs at a time when they're needed more than ever. "Don’t think that if you ask someone a question it looks like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Ask. Don’t allow yourself to just marinate in this uncertainty if you don’t know how to do something."

Dr. Patterson suggests the app Headspace if you want to get an easy jumpstart on mindfulness. Sticking to routines and creating rituals can also be extremely powerful, creating small moments of control when nothing is truly controllable.
