The Challenge

Difficult conversations are part of leadership: performance reviews, conflict, reorganizations, even layoffs.
Too often, leaders enter these moments tense, reactive, or uncertain—or postpone them for too long. The result: lower trust, reduced impact, and unnecessary stress. Most trainings focus on what to say; few equip you to manage your inner state. This workshop blends behavioral science with nervous system regulation so leaders not only know what to say, but have the presence to say it well; building trust while amplifying their impact.

Our Approach

We develop both structure and state. You’ll learn practical frameworks for
feedback and dialogue, alongside embodied tools that help you stay calm, authentic, and grounded when it matters most.

What You’ll Gain

• A leader’s toolkit: Clear feedback models, strengths-based coaching approaches, and behavioral insights you can apply immediately.
• Practical nervous system regulation: Understand how your nervous system shapes communication and practice regulation techniques (including breathwork) to stay steady under pressure.
• Motivator awareness: Work with the drivers of human behavior—connection, control, choice, and competence—to anticipate and shape reactions.
• Somatic intelligence: Read and respond to bodily signals in yourself and others to boost emotional intelligence and de-escalate tension.
• Confident presence: Lead challenging conversations with authenticity, clarity, and credibility.

Format

A 3-hour, small-group workshop designed to maximize learning and practice.

You will:

• Work with practical tools directly connected to your leadership role.
• Have space for individual reflection to immediately apply insights to your context.
• Learn through examples, guided exercises, and practical cases—without sharing confidential details of your current challenges.

Who It’s For

Leaders, (project) managers, and HR professionals in knowledge-intensive fields (tech, biotech, academia) who must handle high-stakes conversations without losing balance, authority, or humanity.
