Do you find yourself compulsively moved to action even when you want to rest? You promise yourself you’ll slow down after you get just one more thing knocked out. But then something else needs to be accomplished or fixed – and well aren’t you the person to do that? 

For many of us today, the way we are approaching our life and work is dysregulating our performance and nervous systems. What worked for so long is now wreaking havoc and many don’t know how to pull out of it.

In this episode, I’m looking at the epidemic of hyper-functioning, especially among highly capable, high-achieving individuals. The ones who when you look at their early training and programming, not surprisingly, were raised to save the day, caretake, and handle the perceived threat as quickly as possible. 

Today, I'm providing the tools to slow down and self-regulate those overstimulated nervous systems to ensure you are making your decisions consciously instead of compulsively. These are the same tools today’s greatest leaders are using to boost resourcefulness, avoid burnout, and enhance happiness and leadership.

Our mission is to help you become unstoppable, so you can do your best work of your career while enjoying more inner peace and freedom.
