Front 15

3 positive effects of stress:

Back 15

•• Boost brainpower and memory

•• Increase immunity (short term)

••Motivate you to succeed

Front 16

Stress Continuum model stress zone READY ZONE

Back 16

represents your people’s normal state of being where they’re performing

optimally, holistically fit, and adapting to changes in the environment well.

Front 17

Stress Continuum model stress zone REACTING ZONE

Back 17

occurs when your people start to experience stressors or demands.

It may be an increase in OPSTEMPO or a self-imposed stressor such as going back

to school while working on a night shift.

Front 18

Stress Continuum model stress zone INJURED ZONE

Back 18

the distress is no longer ‘mild’ and the results are no longer

temporary…it’s severe and/or persistent. At this point, your people are impaired (not mission

ready) as a result of dealing with more significant stressors such as a loss of a family

member, a threat to their lives, or just an accumulation of normal wear and tear (deploying

back to back multiple times with no chance to recover in between).

Front 19

Stress Continuum model stress zone ILL ZONE

Back 19

if the significant stressors experienced in the

INJURED zone persist, get worse, or get better for a while and then get worse again. At

this point, your people may be at the point where their lives become impaired (e.g., can’t

make it out of bed, can’t do normal everyday tasks, etc.) or at risk. Medical disorders such

as PTSD, major depression, and substance abuse disorders are diagnosed in this zone.

The distinction between the Injured zone and the Ill zone can only be made by a medical

professional.

Front 20

The Five Cs, located in the AETC CAF CONOPS, are the vital fabric that forms the mosaic through which

leaders create and sustain our Air Force community.

What are they?

Back 20

Care

Commit

Celebrate

Communicate

Connect

Front 21

Five Cs: Care

Back 21

By being good wingmen, we willfully exhibit integrity, empathy and respect in what

we choose to do and say. Respect up and down the chain of command is necessary for

mission success, and especially important in our marriages, family relationships and professional

relationships with each other. This builds momentum and initiative to act for the

good of the organization, community, and each other.

Front 22

Five Cs: Commit

Back 22

In choosing to help others become their very best, lasting bonds are created.

People who seek to do their part help unite everyone in a common mission, purpose or

vision. By working collaboratively, we build stronger communities that promote self-sufficiency

and enhance mission readiness, retention and adaptation to the Air Force way of

life.

Front 23

Five Cs: Connect

Back 23

Connecting with others is instinctual human behavior, but it doesn’t happen by

chance. It requires intentional effort from all parties in order for the connections to last.

There is some skill needed to develop a relationship where all parties feel valued.

Front 24

Five Cs: Communicate

Back 24

The way we express ourselves, either verbally or in writing, can have a

profound effect on how our message is received and understood. Learning positive and

proactive communication skills increase the chance of effectively connecting with others.

Front 25

Five Cs: Celebrate

Back 25

A good leader communicates expectations and provides constructive feedback

thus providing an environment for growth and development. Recognition for and

celebration of a team’s achievements enforces positive behaviors and encourages commitment

to the organization, mission and each other.
