Working in rail transport can be stressful due to high-stakes safety issues and a lot of moving parts. What advice would you give to a colleague who seems to be cracking under pressure?

"I completely understand the pressure that comes with managing high-stakes safety and delivery issues in the workplace. If a teammate were becoming visibly stressed, I would recommend that they take a minute to gather themselves. It is surprising how many people are stress-wired in the workplace without realizing all they need is a quick breather. Sometimes a change of pace can fix so many feelings of stress and overwhelm."

"If a colleague were showing signs of poor stress management, I would tell them that talking it out is very helpful. If there is an issue bothering you in the workplace, it's wise to bring it up to a manager right away rather than letting feelings fester. I come from a high stakes military environment, so I am confident that I will flawlessly transition these stress-management capabilities to the rail transport industry."
