Description

Key takeaways:

  • Trauma is not about the event itself but the body’s reaction and its inability to recover, which can lock the nervous system into states of dis-ease.
  • Effective leadership stems from fostering trust and safety, whether in parenting, coaching, or workplace settings.
  • Small practices, like scanning your environment for safety cues, can regulate your nervous system and bring a sense of grounding.
  • High achievers thrive when they operate in a safe physiological state, where effort meets ease and challenges become opportunities.
  • Recognizing how your body feels moment-to-moment helps in understanding triggers and developing resilience.
