The amygdale is that part of your brain that kicks in with the "fight, freeze, or flight" response when you're threatened. You often experience it in the workplace as that visceral bubbling in your gut when you're confronted with something that's new or you feel things are slipping out of your control. Change is often the principle initiator. Yet, we all know that change is what can transform both individual and organizational success. Don't you admire the bold leader who fearlessly strikes out into new territory — who's willing to try new things, has an open mind and is the first to say "let's give it a try" — particularly if it's your idea?
We develop programs that help you map the steps you need to make transformative change:
- Awareness — what isn't working for you or your organization?
- Understanding — a clear understanding of the problem — separating facts and data from perception to ground your assumptions
- Generating Alternatives — the obvious, the new, the "sky's the limit"
- Implementing Solutions —experiment and practice new things
- Establish New Practices — develop new approaches and ways of thinking to make better choices
And, we develop ways to overcome your resistance:
- Make the invisible visible
- Eliminate the "why nots"
- Calm the amygdala
- Develop new neuropathways
