About the Session
When your amygdala’s been hijacked the biological response is to fight, flight, or freeze. Disruptions at home, work, life stress, health concerns, or natural disasters can wreak havoc in our lives. But in a leadership position, others are counting on you to lead them through the crisis. Join me as we get smarter than our brains so you can be an effective leader when crisis strikes.
