We ignore our brains at our own peril.

 
Because it's your brain that
  • sends you into a shame spiral after one critical comment on LinkedIn and then stops you from sharing your thoughts for weeks
  • makes you shout at your team under pressure (even when YOU really want to build a culture of safety as a leader) creating fear and blocking the team work and innovation you want
  • then keeps you awake at 2am ruminating, and losing precious energy in anxious should-haves, could-haves, and what-ifs for days after
  • makes you grab your phone and scroll for hours every single time you sit down to write the next chapter of your book
  • make you freeze with fear and bury your head in the sand when you read about climate facts - instead of taking focussed action

 

Your brain (and nervous system) is the bottleneck blocking or unlocking your leadership, activism, ideas, goals, team work, and organisation's innovation - and thus ultimately your impact and fulfilment.
