Create a SAFETY zone where your brain functions optimally! The brain’s primary goal is to minimize danger. A brain under threat cannot strategize, collaborate or be creative – all fundamental drivers of effectiveness, productivity and innovation.
We all have biases and feel ‘right’ more often than we should. These non-conscious ‘shortcuts’ dictate how we interpret the world and inform most of our behaviors and decisions; unfortunately they can often impair our judgement.
Our brains have evolved to detect and instinctively react to physical or social ‘threats’. These are at the heart of what we experience as stress and trigger a reactive state that impacts our decisions, cognition, memory and attention.
Change is usually met with great resistance because the brain dislikes change. The brain craves consistency, commitment and certainty so that prediction, and hence safety, is possible. It’s all about survival and avoiding threat!
