When leaders operate from fight/flight or shutdown states, they exhibit reactive patterns like: - Controlling and micromanaging - Avoiding difficult conversations - Making quick, reactive decisions - Difficulty listening deeply - Emotional unavailability Through nervous system regulation and trauma-informed coaching, leaders learn to access creative competencies: - Authentic presence - Systems thinking - Collaborative decision-making - Inspiring and motivating others - Leading with vision and purpose This body-based approach creates sustainable change that traditional leadership development often misses. ================================================================================ KEY STATISTICS & RESEARCH ================================================================================ Research shows that when leaders develop nervous system regulation: • Team engagement increases by up to 18% • Performance improves by 20-28% • Companies see 23% increase in profitability • Employee motivation and retention improve significantly According to Gallup's 2025 State of Global Workplace report: • Only 21% of employees are engaged globally • Manager engagement dropped from 30% to 27% • Managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement • Companies lose up to $8.9 trillion annually due to low engagement ================================================================================ PUBLISHED WORK ================================================================================ BOOK: Creating Space for Teams A practical guide to team coaching focusing on psychological safety and high-performing team development.
