The Conscious Leader
Understand the brain’s chemical reaction to maintain self-control while utilizing proven tactics to create a safe work culture.
Mastering Mindset
Delve into automatic reactions and explore ways our thinking can hinder positive problem solving, critical thinking, and biases that keep us from being present with others.
Mindfulness is a critical skill to employ that keeps the brain focused on what is important in escalated situations. Learn how to access the “wise mind” to help your team manage innate responses.
Constructive Conversations
Knowing the difference between an expectation and a boundary is key to maintaining self-respect and arriving at productive solutions. Gain understanding about the most common ways our brains process information, calm threat responses, and create safe spaces for constructive conversations.
