⸻🧠 Understanding Cortisol's Impact on Team Dynamics. I just watched this insightful episode on the link between cortisol levels and our team's performance. Our physiological response to stress can have profound effects on not just our individual well-being but also on the dynamics within our teams and organization. Research suggests that elevated cortisol levels, often a result of chronic stress, can impair cognitive function, decision-making, and overall productivity. As leaders, it's crucial to recognize these physiological responses and create environments that foster well-being and resilience.Let's prioritize strategies like mindfulness, regular breaks, and open communication to mitigate stress levels and cultivate healthier, more productive teams.

How can leaders make adaptive change? The secret lies in understanding the neuroscience of habit formation. Our brains are remarkably adaptable, constantly rewiring based on our behaviors, choices and experiences. By leveraging this neuroplasticity, leaders can break free from old habits and forge new pathways to success. Whether it's implementing daily routines, practicing mindfulness, or embracing feedback loops, integrating neuroscience into our leadership toolkit empowers us to cultivate habits that drive growth, resilience, and innovation. #Neuroplasticity #ChangeIsPossible #Leadership #Intentional #NewHabits https://lnkd.in/d-r-aAy

Excellent tool to understand how to motivate people to their full potential.

Part of being a leader is self development in wider and deeper topics.

To all senior leaders 🎙️📚 Just watched insightful talk that delved into various aspects of mental wellness 🧠💡 🔑💼 It was an eye-opening experience to delve into the deep interconnections between leadership and stress, and how the two can significantly impact organizations. The talk highlighted the critical role that stress management plays in effective leadership, emphasizing the need for leaders to proactively address their own well-being to foster a positive and thriving work environment. 💪🌟 As I reflect on the insights shared, I realize the immense responsibility we have as leaders to prioritize self-care. Summary: Stress is contagious, CEO's stress impacts organizations, and managing stress is crucial for leadership. Hormones like cortisol affect interpersonal dynamics, and physical exercise helps reduce stress. Quality sleep, spending time in nature, and having a purpose beyond self also contribute to mental well-being. Recognizing patterns, deliberate practice, and understanding beliefs are steps to change behavior. Neuroplasticity, self-esteem, and neurodiversity play significant roles too. The mind-body connection, posture, and the power of words impact overall health and well-being. Visualizing desired outcomes and overcoming limiting beliefs can lead to personal growth and creativity.  #LeadershipAndStress #StressManagement #PositiveWorkEnvironment #SelfCareMatters

Can we firmly ditch the error that being constantly calm signals a healthy nervous system and is the gold star sticker of self development. Activation in the system is not a bad thing, moving into the autonomic nervous system or fight and flight is not a bad thing, being triggered is not a bad thing. These are indicators we have a human brain and body doing what a human brain and body does. The flexibility and flow between states and systems so we move through them healthily is what we are designed for. #nervoussystem #wellbeing #wellness #leadership #schoolleaders #headteachers #supervision #calm

Imagine trying to focus while making cognitive decisions with lightning speed in a noisy stadium with screaming fans and two 350 lb tackles breathing heavily to take you to the ground. Honestly, how many of us could do that? Great leaders and championship athletes can. Sometimes, it might feel like that is your situation, holding tight to your ability to keep your eye on the ball. What enables a great leader to rise above the rest is the strength of their “Foundational Masteries” one being the ability to focus under the most outrageous circumstances. Focus at this level isn’t about just the task at hand but cognitive flexibility, the ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment and refocus. Kirk Cousins, the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, was featured on Netflix’s new documentary “Quarterback” recently. He talks about using neurofeedback to sharpen his focus and train his brain. Mental coaches who utilize neurofeedback for Olympic medalists and NFL players were my teachers. They made it clear the brains of these athletes began like everyone else's. The difference is their unwavering dedication to being peak performers. How much energy do you put into training your brain? Becoming aware of your cognitive flexibility is a great place to start. How seamlessly do you shift between the global impact of your organization to the task at hand and they move to a conversation about the economic state of your industry? #brainhealth #highperformance #neuroscience #neurofeedback #peakperformance
