In this transformative episode, Melissa challenges one of leadership's most fundamental assumptions: that we should think our way through decisions.
But what if our overreliance on logic is precisely why leaders feel paralyzed during times of uncertainty and change?
Through the lens of the 2020 pandemic response, she illustrates how even the most powerful leaders became frozen when lacking cognitive answers – creating a dangerous leadership vacuum that amplified fear and suffering.
The solution?
Accessing our three intelligence centers: the brain (cognitive intelligence), the heart (emotional intelligence), and the gut (intuitive intelligence).
Melissa reveals how these intelligence centers communicate, why 90% of vagus nerve signals travel upward from body to brain (not the other way around), and how tapping into this integrated wisdom creates a resonance others instinctively trust.
In this session, you'll also experience a guided practice to activate all three intelligence centers and begin accessing the wisdom that's always been within you.
Your body already knows the answers to your most challenging leadership questions. It's time to remember how to listen.
