Most people think bad decisions come from bad thinking. They don't.
They come from the state you're in when you think.
When the brain detects threat, it doesn't go looking for the best answer. It goes looking for the fastest one. That's not a flaw rather it's a survival mechanism. But it means that the quality of your decisions depends less on your intelligence and more on your nervous system.
I work with leaders and professionals who are smart, experienced and still stuck. Not because they lack the capacity to find clarity but because they've been trying to find it from inside the stress.
Everything I do begins with regulation. This is a precondition. A single session is a way in.
