Nervous System Wisdom
With over a decade of experience in leadership coaching, training, and development, I've encountered invaluable frameworks that shape effective leadership:
- Amy Edmondson on Psychological Safety
- Patrick Lencioni on Cohesive Teams
- Dr. Eric Berne’s Transactional Analysis
- Douglas Stone & Sheila Heen on Triggers in Feedback
- Ken Blanchard on Situational Leadership
- Daniel Goleman on Emotional Intelligence
- And more — Everything DiSC, Enneagram, Belbin, RAdical Candor, PRH…
Each of these resources offers profound insights into leading and understanding others. Yet, at the core of all great leadership lies one essential skill: getting into a state where you feel grounded — the ventral vagal state. When you’re here, you can tap into your prefrontal cortex, regulate your breathing and heart, and truly connect with the world around you. This state enables creative problem-solving, long-term thinking, and the ability to inspire. This is the most powerful state we can be in, but it obviously takes some work to remove the triggers that send us into a fear state, and widen our capacity for all of what life has to offer us.
This is why developing a nervous system "intelligence" is foundational to leadership. Learning to tone your vagus nerve can ensure you to evolve with intention, accessing the wisdom within to guide your growth and impact.
