“Our stress comes from our story, not our reality.”
At the fall 2024 Women in Retail On the Road: New York City event, Cy Wakeman, president and founder of Reality-Based Leadership, addressed how to reframe stressful situations for better outcomes. In this clip from her keynote session, Wakeman shares a personal story that highlights how the stories we tell ourselves about a difficult situation cause more stress than the situation itself.
Women in Retail Leadership Circle members can watch Wakeman’s full keynote presentation on-demand here.
Wakeman, a drama researcher, New York Times best-selling author, Hall of Fame Speaker, and 2023 World’s No. 1 Leadership Guru who is recognized for her reality-based approach to leadership, is partnering with Women in Retail Leadership Circle to offer a 10-week virtual workshop series, Reality-Based Leadership — Ditching the Drama and Turning Excuses Into Results.
