The Neuroscience Nobody Tells You About Being a Leader

Описание: Leadership neuroscience reveals that your nervous system may shape workplace culture before strategy ever does. For leaders of color navigating high-stakes environments, understanding this biology is a competitive advantage.

In this episode of Building Leadership Community, Coach Dora sits down with leadership psychologist Dr. Christopher Eaddy and leadership practitioner Lisa Oborne to explore the biology of business and the neuroscience behind culture.
They unpack how emotional regulation impacts executive presence, how stress disrupts decision-making, and why authentic leadership requires both accountability and nervous system awareness.
For professionals advancing into higher leadership roles, this conversation connects psychology, organizational culture, and practical leadership development.
