Context
Our state of mind determines our reaction to challenging situations. When we sense danger, our limbic brains react to protect us. This is our reactive mind. We all have our own personal fight-flight-freeze reactions to specific situations at work, but our reactive, automatic responses often don’t create productive outcomes. Our ability to choose a more creative response to these situations is essential for individual and collective success.
Aims

- To find creative responses to stressful situations
