Under Pressure: Brain Science-Based Skills for Stress-Resilient Leadership

Event description

Leading a small business or team means making tough decisions every day — often under pressure and without a roadmap. Stress, overwhelm, and uncertainty can cloud judgment, trigger reactive behaviors, and get in the way of clear communication. This full-day, in-person workshop gives you practical, easy-to-use tools that help you stay calm, focused, and effective in the moments leadership matters most.

You’ll explore why the brain so often misfires during stress, but the emphasis stays firmly on what to do about it. Using simple, science-backed techniques, you’ll learn how to shift out of instinctive “survival mode” and into the clear-headed part of the brain where good decisions, productive conversations, and confident leadership happen. Importantly, you’ll learn how neuroplasticity can help these desired responses become your norm.

By the end of the day, you’ll be equipped with strategies you can use immediately on the job: recognizing early signs of overwhelm, staying grounded during conflict, thinking clearly under pressure, and approaching challenges with steadiness instead of stress. The personally helpful news is that challenges and discomfort can initiate the formation of desired neural pathways. These tools help leaders at every level create calmer workplaces, build stronger teams, and make decisions that move their organizations forward.
