ENCORE: Why Does Your Brain Treat a Hard Conversation Like a Physical Attack? | Neuroscience in Leadership| AI for Executives

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Why does the body treat a hard conversation like a physical attack? I'm Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, a physician turned Neuroleadership Coach and Forbes Coaches Council member, and this encore airs six days before the next Pressure Room for one reason: it is the setup for Thursday's question. Research on social threat shows the brain's alarm circuitry responds to confrontation much the way it responds to physical danger, which is why leaders flinch away from the conversations that would actually fix things. And every dodged hard conversation has a cost that compounds: the yes that should have been a no. That is exactly what we work on live this week. The Pressure Room by Sahar Andrade MB.BCh, a free monthly session for executives: Why do you say yes when every part of you means no? Thursday, August 27, 11 AM Pacific. Forty-five minutes , one model taught fully, one protocol you leave with. Register for The Pressure Room : Everything I share comes from my experience and my opinion as a coach. It is not a diagnosis and it is not a fact about you. You decide what fits.
