Lower reactivity, increase connection, break stuck patterns.

First in you, then in your people.

Leadership anxiety is more complex than 'worry' and 'fear.'

It is a lava bubbling under the surface, ready to erupt.

When someone emails, 'we need to meet.'
When you're driven by control, perfection, approval or always being there for people.
When some of your team have their own meeting after the meeting.
When you keep running into yourself: your negative habits and tendencies.
When you're not sure how to address a staff member's chronic bad habits.

When someone violates your unspoken values.
When you struggle to shake criticism and wish you were thicker skinned.
When you find yourself triangled, in a double bind, a mixed message, or dozens of common anxiety generating dynamics.
When your inner critic speaks louder than the voice of God.
When you see anxiety spread in a group, but don't know how to manage it.
