Could stress at the office be harming your heart?
If expectations of how you fulfill your day-to-day duties are high and the rewards for your effort low, a new study shows you are at higher risk for developing a common form of heart arrhythmia known as AFib that can lead to health complications such as heart failure or stroke. Leaders can reduce the risk for their teams, writes leadership expert Jake Breeden, by setting clear expectations, empowering them to make decisions on their own and giving their work a sense of purpose.

Put it into practice: Being aware of the stress your team is under is your top priority as a leader, Breeden writes, which means getting to know them on a personal level so you can understand the ... both in the office and at home.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
