Being a CISO has been described as the "toughest job in the world." It comes with a lot of stress, which can lead to early burnout as well as a number of health and relationship problems. Well, we're going to tackle this elephant in the room and investigate some of the sources of stress and ways we can deal with it.
88% of CISOS report being "moderately or tremendously stressed" We discuss eight everyday situations that can cause CISO stress, and then explore the way of Ikigai, Japanese for "reason for being." The intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for represents this ideal state. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes this as "flow," when work comes seemingly effortlessly because we are in alignment with our actions. We'll also explore Dave Crenshaw's factors to being invaluable, which can help us better meet the demands of our job by being the best possible fit.
Tune in and gain some ideas on how to help yourself. and your staff, deal with stress.
