The Missing Link Between Successful Business Pivots and Stalled Attempts.

Most business pivots, turnarounds or new product launches focus on the type of strategy that will be most effective, but there’s an important factor that often gets overlooked: nervous system regulation of the key leaders at the helm of the pivot. 

The reality is that business owners and leaders cannot consistently perform at a high level when operating under chronic stress. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, people become reactive instead of intentional; decision-making becomes clouded, communication suffers, and creativity decreases.During a recent Healthy High-Performance interview on Disruptive Spark® Show, psychotherapist and workplace behavior expert, Dr. Carol Look, explained how the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, can help regulate the heavy stress and pressure leaders are under to reclaim focus.  If you want to access deep strategic insights and make clear, impactful decisions without hesitation, regulation of the nervous system is required.  Catch the replay here: 

It proven research that leaders who regulate their stress load are often better equipped to:• Make clear decisions under pressure• Communicate more effectively with teams and clients• Maintain focus and resilience during uncertainty• Reduce the likelihood of burnout and emotional exhaustion• Be excellent stewards and leaders of change. 

One of the most valuable moments from the conversation was that nervous system support does not have to be complicated. Even a few minutes a day of intentional stress decompression and regulation can create noticeable long-term changes in performance and emotional well-being.  

While there are many ways to accomplish this, we had the privilege of learning how to use a specific technique in the field of psychology called Emotional Freedom Technique, tapping.   Dr. Look is a EFT Master practitioner with 15 years of experience in guiding clients to reach achieve their goals by reducing the effects of stress on decision making.  We were honored to have our Executive Strategies and Mentor, Susan Gatti, interview Dr. Look on Disruptive Spark® Show.   Learn how to do EFT in 10-minutes
