The fight response is a part of our survival instinct. It's there to protect us, but in today’s world, this response can sometimes lead to more challenges than solutions, especially in our relationships and our own mental well-being.
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as the emotions of those around us. In leadership, this translates into self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships.
Limiting beliefs are thoughts or assumptions that act as mental roadblocks, convincing us that certain things aren’t possible. These beliefs are often deeply ingrained, typically formed from past experiences, fears, or even inherited patterns from others around us. You might not even be aware of them, but they can show up in subtle ways in your business.
Reactivity usually stems from stress, and stress can come from all sorts of places - work deadlines, personal expectations, or simply the daily juggling act of life. When we’re in a state of stress, our nervous system goes into overdrive.
