What if the biggest obstacle to your leadership isn’t strategy… but your nervous system? In this thought-provoking episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr sits down with Claire Hayek, speaker, author, and certified neurocoach, for a raw and revealing conversation about the science of leadership, trauma, and personal transformation. Claire shares her journey from clinical burnout to full nervous system recovery and how understanding the biology of the brain completely changed her capacity to lead, connect, and build lasting influence. They explore how neuroleadership can help entrepreneurs and professionals break free from survival patterns, rewire limiting beliefs, and reclaim the clarity needed to lead with grounded confidence. This isn’t about mindset hacks—it’s about real inner work backed by neuroscience. 🧠 What You'll Learn:

• The brain’s role in leadership: fight/flight vs. presence and power
• How unresolved trauma shows up in your business and relationships
• The connection between nervous system regulation and executive function
• What “identity shifts” really look like in high-level leadership
• Why emotional suppression kills creativity, clarity, and trust
• A better way to lead: from regulation, not reaction
