Key questions to help you cope with the epidemic of busyness

“How are you”? I asked two C-suite executives I reconnected with at a conference recently.

“Stressed” they chimed in unison.
“Busy” one quickly asserted.
“Busy is an understatement” the other added, just to make sure I got it.

“Well it doesn’t have to be that way you know …”

I was about to launch into the benefits of mindfulness meditation in managing stress, but paused when I noticed the looks on their faces.
