In this episode we take a deep dive exploration into our nervous system and how by understanding what happens to us at neurobiological level, we can be better leaders. As a keyboard player with a fear of performing in public, and a reformed management consultant who experienced some pretty stressful and toxic work environments, Paul embarked on a journey of learning and self-discovery that led him to the belief that as leaders we need to work from the inside out.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“I want people to understand that a conversation is a neurobiological chain reaction. Think about meetings. It's a series of neurobiological chain reactions. And until we see the world through this lens, people are going to continue doing what they're doing, not knowing the impact of this on our neurophysiology or our neuro chemistry. How the hell are you going to manage teams, if you don't recognise, we're co creating our experience, and that this neurobiological chain reaction is happening.”
