Tips from an Olympian to Tackle the Fight/Flight/Freeze Effect

by | 19 May 2015 | Building Confidence, Difficult Conversations, Interview Skills, Nerves, Perception

We talk to every client about the effect the nervous adrenaline produced by our amygdala can have on our bodies. Our brain senses fear and our system rapidly produces a defence – flight/fight or freeze, in short a way to get ourselves out of imminent danger. This short extract from the BBC shows former Olympian Matthew Syed, author of Bounce , explain how in a difficult situation getting into a conversation can help you to work through the nerves and focus on the subject in hand. Great advice and one we are happy to share.
