The Missing Leg in Leadership | Interview with Jeff BanmanIn this enlightening episode of ProverbialMinds, we sit down with leadership expert Jeff Banman to explore the critical aspect of stabilizing your body and nervous system for more informed and accurate decision-making. Contrary to what many believe, effective leadership decisions don't begin in the mind, but rather in the body – particularly the peripheral nervous system, from the neck down.We discuss how, unless your body (heartbeat, blood flow, and more) is calm and regulated, your mind will likely operate in "flight, fight, or freeze" mode, which often leads to poor decisions. Together with Jeff, we dive deep into practical steps to regulate your body, including mindfulness, presence, and focusing on the current situation rather than the noise of the outside world. When you learn to make your body feel safe, even in uncomfortable situations, your brain is free to function properly, and your creativity and decision-making skills flourish.
