Abstract

Introduction: Transforming hysteria into a positive story to tell depends on ourselves. This transformation helps us improve as individuals and professionals, develop our leadership skills, solve problems effectively and efficiently, and serve as positive role models to others.
Objective: This article focuses on presenting strategies that help transforming hysteria (e.g. chaos, stressors, difficult moments, problems, conflicts) into a positive (e.g. favorable, beautiful, motivational) story to tell that, also helps to think before acting, solve problems/conflicts appropriately, seek for professional care and support from both experts and trusted people, to keep in mind that there is always room for improvement, and serve as a positive example/model to others.
Methodology: A literature review and analysis of peer-reviewed articles was conducted to identify validated problem-solving strategies. To facilitate understanding and application of those strategies, examples are presented in such a way that can be used in both personal and professional settings. Also, artificial intelligence (AI) was used to assist in the development of some of those examples and show how AI facilitates our job.
Results: The article evidences that adversity can lead to negative emotions and actions. It also demonstrates that most of the problems in working groups are based on process failures, not personal conflicts. However, we have the capacity to bring about positive and favorable change and results in any endeavour we choose. To achieve it, among others, we need commitment, discipline, leadership, and evidence-based strategic processes. We need to look for the positive side of adversity without letting hysteria to limit us, dominate our actions, or disturb our emotions and peace of mind. Let’s take advantage of the story created by hysteria to live life to the fullest.
