Mastering High-Stakes Communication: Regulate Your Nervous System! In this episode, we explore the challenges of high-stakes communication and how our nervous system often disrupts our ability to speak the hard truths, because avoiding difficult conversations is not a character flaw but a dysregulated nervous system response. By understanding these responses—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—we can learn to navigate power imbalances, particularly in professional settings.
The upcoming 'Truth to Power' workshop on July 23, 2025, will provide practical tools for nervous system regulation, empowering attendees to communicate with clarity and confidence. This workshop is crucial for anyone looking to overcome conflict avoidance, emotional reactivity, and the fear of speaking up.
