The Regulated Mind at Work
Regain control. Build strength. Lead with calm in chaotic times.
When the world around you feels unstable, your nervous system becomes your most powerful leadership tool. This program helps you build grounded clarity, resilience, and presence—so you can lead without burning out.
This isn’t about forcing calm or chasing perfection.
It’s about growing real inner strength—through evidence-based practices that build your capacity to stay grounded and effective, no matter what’s happening around you.
Three Modules. One Journey.
-
Learn to become more aware of the triggers recognize your regulation patterns and build basic skills. You'll understand how your nervous system responds to workplace stress and develop core regulation tools that work for you.
The goal of this phase is to become aware of personal triggers and regulation habits in daily moments.
How stress and uncertainty impact your nervous system and decision-making
Identifying your personal regulation patterns (hyperarousal vs. hypoarousal)
Daily check-in practice: noticing stress signals before they take over
Using AI as an optional journal companion to reflect on stress patterns
-
Put regulation into practice during real workplace challenges. Learn to stay steady during difficult conversations, decision-making moments, and when external events feel overwhelming.
The goal of this phase is to build the ability to stay regulated in real-time situations.
Practicing nervous system regulation techniques throughout the day
Reframing uncertainty as an opportunity instead of a threat
Using AI as a perspective expander to challenge assumptions
Moving from “reaction” to response—how to pause and choose wisely
-
Turn regulation from conscious effort into natural habit. Develop sustainable practices and learn to create conditions that support regulation for yourself and others.
The goal of this phase is to lock in what works and build a personal regulation practice.
Identifying what’s worked best and why
Creating a repeatable system for self-regulation and clarity
Using AI as a thought partner to synthesize learning and reinforce patterns
Establishing a long-term practice for sustained resilience
Why Regulation is Your Leadership Superpower
Your nervous system shapes every conversation, decision, and moment of leadership. When it’s regulated, you stay composed, resourceful, and wise. When it’s not, reactivity and overwhelm take over.
Signs you might need this practice:
You react instead of respond in high-pressure situations, from meetings to key decisions
Workplace stress and external pressures drain your energy and focus
Difficult conversations throw you off balance, making composure a struggle
You want to stay clear, calm, and effective but feel hijacked by uncertainty
The world is moving fast—you need a way to stay steady amid the chaos
What Actually Works
True resilience at work comes from internal stability—not from controlling your environment or avoiding stress.
The real shift happens when you learn to notice your state, respond with intention, and stay grounded even when chaos hits.
This course helps you move from nervous system reactivity to regulation, building clarity, calm, and capacity over time.
The Core Shift
From Reactivity to Regulation
Most of us respond to uncertainty and stress in one of two ways:
Over-controlling (seeking rigid structures and certainty)
Avoiding (numbing out or disconnecting)
Neither works long term. This course helps you build the capacity to stay present and responsive, even when things feel chaotic.
The Regulated Mind at Work is designed to help you break these cycles by building the skill of self-regulation—so you can stay clear, centered, and capable no matter what challenges arise.
Your Nervous System is the Leader. AI is the Assistant.
The real change happens through your attention and action. AI tools simply help you see patterns, reflect more deeply, and track your growth over time.
You’re always in the lead. The technology just helps hold the mirror—so you can see more clearly and respond with power.
New to AI? Curious but Cautious?
This is a low-stakes way to explore AI's potential. Use as much or as little of the AI features as feels right for you. Many participants find this a safe space to learn how AI can support - rather than replace - human judgment and growth. It's also a great way to help your team thoughtfully integrate AI into their work.
Over time, this partnership helps regulation become more natural and automatic. You develop deeper self-awareness and stronger regulation skills, supported by technology but never replaced by it.
For Leaders Navigating Change
If you're leading through uncertainty, change, or emotional intensity—this course is for you.
When you're regulated, you're able to:
Hold space for your team without burning out
Make clear, grounded decisions—even under pressure
Model steadiness and resilience in the face of challenge
This isn't about suppressing emotions—it’s about navigating them with skill. The course will guide you to strengthen your presence, deepen your awareness, and build habits that support sustainable leadership.
Three Ways to Practice
Individual
For professionals ready to build their personal regulation practice. You'll get daily guided practices, reflection tools, and community support to develop lasting regulation skills.
Perfect for individual contributors and leaders working on personal regulation
Team Implementation
When teams go through this journey together, something powerful happens. Shared language emerges. Trust deepens. The whole team becomes more resilient. While everyone works through their individual practice, the collective impact transforms team dynamics.
Teams can informally coordinate to practice in parallel, creating their own accountability and support systems.
Leadership Track +$97
For leaders ready to take regulation beyond personal practice. This track provides advanced implementation support, coaching, and tools to help embed regulation into your organizational culture.
This approach particularly resonates with leaders navigating complex change or building high-trust teams. Monthly group coaching helps you translate individual regulation skills into team and organizational impact.
From the Creator: Why I Built This
I know firsthand how hard it is to stay effective when life throws curveballs. Navigating family health concerns, major life transitions, relocations, and extreme commutes pushed me to my limits. At times, I felt like I was barely holding it all together—trying to meet demands at work while managing everything else. My professional skills weren’t enough—I needed a different approach.
Through deep study and practice, I learned tools that helped me stay grounded, think clearly under pressure, and maintain my well-being with greater success even in the midst of chaos. These are the same strategies I now teach my coaching clients so they can protect their health and sustain their performance, no matter what challenges come their way. I’d love to share them with you.
The Regulated Mind at Work teaches you how to:
Stay present in challenging situations
Think clearly when overwhelmed
Navigate chaos without compromising wellbeing
Build sustainable practices that support both performance and health
This isn't about perfection — it's about finding ways to stay effective without sacrificing yourself in the process.
A New Way to Work
This isn't about becoming perfectly regulated — that doesn't exist. It's about practicing consistently so you can handle workplace challenges with more ease. In each week-long module, you'll develop habits that make a real difference in how you experience work.
Praise the roots of the plant—what grounds it and allows it to grow—not only the flower. Without quiet unseen work happening in the dark, nothing would open in the light. Thrive and be grateful you can. Keep Moving.
