BRAIN STRESS & POSITIONS

I explained that when needs are not met and stress chemicals are

released, it may leave a person feeling powerless. That is the point you

may throw or run from your prickle if you don’t stop and take control.

We noticed that you used some ‘blamer’ and ‘helpless’ statements when

you were describing times that don’t go ok for you – like meetings being

too long and lessons being too easy.

I explained how we can take control and try to shift into an Empowered

Position:

Step 1: decide what you would like to be different.

Step 2: be the negotiator and challenger and ask for the thing you would

help you to feel and do better – e.g. ask if the meeting can be 1 hour and

if you can have time to have your say at the start.
