Meet Your Brain’s Imaginary Customer Service Manager:
Sydney Frederick Thompson
Catchphrase: “We can pivot. And we will.”
Sydney is the flexibility and stress tolerance expert. She keeps the team calm under pressure, manages curveballs with grace, and helps everyone pivot when things change unexpectedly.
She thrives on problem-solving and keeping morale high, but personal stressors (a sick kid, a tight deadline, or an overflowing inbox) can sometimes test her calm. When Sydney is on her game, the team navigates change like pros; when she’s stretched too thin, even minor crises feel overwhelming.
Sydney’s skills represent the executive function skills of flexibility and stress tolerance. Sign up for our newsletter to learn more about how you can strengthen these and other executive function skills. Learn how to honor your brain and work with it, never against it.
