Keep it Human (Mallory Meyer)

Ever wondered why you react the way you do in high-pressure situations?

In this episode, we dive into the Performance Hierarchy and explore the three core states of our nervous system - Ventral Vagal, Sympathetic, and Dorsal Vagal. Discover how these states influence our responses, from feeling secure and connected to spiralling into fight-or-flight, or even shutting down.

Learn to recognize these reflexive reactions in yourself and others, especially in the workplace, and find out how to navigate these physiological shifts to enhance your performance and maintain resilience. Tune in to uncover how to stay in control and prevent a downward spiral when stress hits.
