      "I become more stressed when workloads are high, and my team seems less responsive than usual. In these situations. I will hold one on one meetings in these cases to check in with each team member and find out what they need to pick up the pace and meet expectations."

      "--- Probably myself, due to me always pushing myself to do better than what is needed. Besides myself, maybe a high workload with an unresponsive team. I don't want to feel like I'm doing everything on my own, if I'm confident in the work then I manage, but if I need guidance and no one is available then I'll become stressed."

      Amanda's Feedback

      Stress isn't always a bad thing if you're able to channel it positively. You can strengthen your response by providing a specific example of how you've handled stress well in the past, or telling about a time when increased pressure actually helped you work more productively. This illustrates your ability to transform stress into action, successfully turning a negative into a positive, to accomplish your goal.
