How you answer this question will offer the interviewer insight into how you manage your stress levels, either at work or home. If you are continually stressed out at work, you'll likely burn out faster. Since they are interested in lasting work relationships they want to ensure your performance won't suffer, that your focus won't falter, and it won't affect your performance at work. Be confident in your answer. Emotional maturity goes a long way and is essential to leadership. Express that you've reached a harmony between both realms through your attitude towards life.

"I strive to be in the moment and maintain emotional balance around the clock. If a person isn't balanced, I don't believe they'll find balance. Like that old metaphor, when you are on the rim of the wheel you'll go up and then you'll go down, but when you are centered in the hub of the wheel, you are in the immovable spot."

"I've always been pretty good at leaving my personal life at home and my professional life at work. If there are times where the stress is hard to shake from one sphere or the other, I'll listen to music or play a mediation app to center myself again. That always works pretty well. But whenever I am experiencing stress on the job, I just channel that stress into focus to ensure I don't miss a beat and stay focussed."
