142 – Understanding How the Fight or Flight Response Effects Your Desk

This episode is a great listen if you think that getting very stressed about certain aspects of your job is motivating or in some way helping you (it’s not).

It’s also a super beneficial one for managers who’ve noticed people on their team who struggle with managing stress.

Most people are aware that the fight or flight response charges your body up ready to fight a threat or run from it. 

In this ep I discuss:

👉 How heightened stress and anxiety puts you in a fight or flight response
👉 Understanding that fight or flight shuts down the strategic frontal cortex part of your brain
👉 Some effective tactics to manage people who are in fight or flight mode
