Description

Every leader faces the challenge of working with team members who seem resistant, disruptive, or simply "difficult." But what if the issue isn't about changing them—it's about understanding what drives these behaviors and creating the safety that transforms team dynamics?

This isn't your typical conflict resolution talk. Using a holistic, neuroscience-backed approach, you'll discover how stress responses and unmet psychological needs manifest as "difficult" behaviors and learn to shift from reactive management to responsive leadership that creates lasting behavioral change. This talk combines neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and emotional intelligence to revolutionize how you approach difficult team relationships.
