ABOUT THIS EPISODE
One frustrated person can turn an entire crew sideways in minutes. The skill nobody teaches you is how to keep from being that person, and how to reset the room when someone else is.
Dr. Kevin Rindal sits down with Glen Stevens Jr., The Mental Fitness Guy, who built the safety mindset training used by rural electric cooperatives across the country. Glen breaks down why one bad mood spreads across a whole crew, and the simple moves that let you stay calm and lead well when a job gets tense: his ICAN framework for resetting under pressure, why "why" puts people on defense, and the mindset shift that changes how you see the people you work with.
