In this 4-part Be Well Lead Well® Connect audio series, you’ll learn four principles of the autonomic nervous system and why they matter when you want to cultivate environments where your people and teams thrive.
In this third audio, we focus on self-regulation, the ability to understand and shift your own responses in ways that help you live and lead well. Self-regulation enables you to lead from a state of wellbeing where you can more easily adopt attitudes and actions that support your capacity to thrive, as well as those you lead.
The principle of self-regulation is part of adapting and thriving in the middle of ever-changing circumstances, and it is at the heart of what it means to lead effectively. Click the play button below to learn more.
