Think Fast, Lead Slow — Science-Based Tools for Emotionally Intelligent Leadership - this was the theme of the Masterclass I had the privilege of delivering to UBS Switzerland.
We explored how exceptional leaders can harness tools from Neuroscience, Psychology, and Behavioural science to lead with greater clarity, compassion, and agility—especially under pressure.
It’s an elevated understanding where Emotional Intelligence and Self Awareness become performance tools.
- The 'state' from which you lead is critical.
- Understanding and applying science-backed Emotional Intelligence strategies gives you an advantage especially under pressure.
- Leading decisively through uncertainty—with self-awareness and purpose.
Leading through uncertainty demands calm, conscious, and purposeful presence, all firmly grounded in Emotional Intelligence.
It is always inspiring to work with leaders who are ready to grow from the inside out. Thank you to all who attended, and collaborated to make this happen.

For the third year running, we have been diving into what Novak Djokovic called the "constant battle within" - the Neuroscience of Change. I am so happy to be doing this work with businesses leaders as well as for the general public through our events in different formats.
To do this work, you must have the desire to grow and the courage to experiment with unfamiliar concepts and tools in pursuit of real transformation. In business - we often talk about Growth Mindset - we took it to the next level!

We were also truly fortunate to welcome back the brilliant Neena Saith. Her unique ability to clearly connect the often-overlooked nervous system and decoding the hidden patterns that quietly shape how we experience life’s ups and downs is superb.

Once again, our deep dive took us to the intersection of Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Behavioural Science. We examined how the brain's capacity to rewire itself can be harnessed for lasting, meaningful change.

We had invaluable real insights emerge. The real-world applications of these learnings are limitless for everyone.

The Day Rosie Taught Me So Much About Change
I came across these pictures that were taken almost twenty years ago at a Richard Bandler NLP event. I remember staring at that white tablecloth, locked in a quiet, but powerful internal battle. On it, calmly moved one of my greatest lifelong fears—a huge, hairy tarantula, named Rosie.

To others, she may have looked like just a spider. But to me, she represented decades of deep-rooted fear, wired into my nervous system, shaped by an early experience that left its imprint.

I stood back, frozen. My body responded with a familiar cocktail of panic: trembling legs, sweaty palms, and a hyper-alert nervous system screaming at me to back away. I couldn't look directly at her—only from the side of my eye, filled with dread and disbelief that I was even in the same room.

Every part of me wanted to run. And yet, I stayed—because deep down, I knew I needed to face this. For what seemed like an eternity, I hovered at the back of the room, my fear wrestling with my desire to change. Then, I began to inch closer. I queued up with many others who felt the same.

After I was reassured that I was safe, with patient guidance, my system started to settle—just a little. Enough to move from fear to curiosity. Maybe, just maybe, this moment could be different?

Slowly, I inched closer. I placed one trembling hand on the table. That, in itself, felt like an impossible victory. My nervous system was buzzing, but something else was taking hold: possibility.

And after what seemed like an eternity sitting there, finally, I did it. I allowed her to come to me. Rosie, soft and surprisingly delicate, walked into my hand with grace. In doing so, she walked me straight into a new chapter of my life.

Rosie, the tarantula who had once embodied what I feared, walked gently across my hand with her delicate legs—graceful, unbothered, and completely unaware of the transformation she was facilitating.

That single moment, changed me. My brain rewired. Fear does not have to be forever. It changed forever how I understood the nervous system, and the incredible power of neuroplasticity.

As I am now running the Neuroplasticity for Behaviour Change course at the Hult International Business School, it is great to look back, because it is the work I love doing with people: helping them move toward their own turning points. Because whether it’s a spider, or an old belief, change is absolutely possible—even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Whenever I think of Rosie, I smile. Because she was a teacher. A gentle, unexpected guide into a life I didn’t know I could have.

Remember, you too, can change.

Sometimes, all it takes is one brave hand on the table.

What is your Rosie?

Thank you Richard Bandler

What if real wellbeing wasn’t about pushing harder—but pausing wisely?
New research shows that even occasional daytime naps are linked to a 48% lower risk of heart attacks and strokes. That’s not laziness—it’s smart self-care.

Rest isn’t a luxury or a sign of weakness. It’s one of your body’s most powerful tools for recovery and resilience.

Short naps—up to 30 minutes, a couple of times a week—can help support:

*Mental clarity and focus
*Memory retention and learning
*Emotional balance and stress management
*Creative thinking and problem-solving
If your mind feels foggy or your energy dips, it might not be burnout—it might be your body asking for a reset. Listening to that signal and giving yourself permission to rest could be one of the healthiest choices you make today.

Because wellbeing isn’t just about avoiding illness—it’s about creating the conditions for you to thrive. Your heart, nervous system (and your focus and wellbeing) will thank you.

For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.” Thich Nhat Hanh

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of ‘optical delusion’ of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

In our daily lives we use words without thinking and as we know from many scientific studies, these ‘labels’ have a huge impact on how we feel, what we believe about ourselves and how this then impacts on the choices we make.
Slow down and rethink how you speak to yourself. The silent internal conversations becomes the source of your inner strength or weakness depending on the words you use. 🙏

You probably have a shower every day. But have you considered the importance of taking a mind-shower every day? Health psychology confronted us with the slow and insidious cause of illness that is silent and creeps upon us when we least expect it. We carry daily frustrations, unprocessed emotions such as suppressed anger, a lingering sense of guilt that results in the inability to let go, move on or forgive. We shower our body, but we don't shower and cleanse our minds from the residue of the day-to-day build up of emotions. We push on. We feel it, but we sweep it under the carpet. There are more important, more urgent things to do. We can forget, but we cannot let go of the tension. The tension remains. We keep pushing on.

Until one day, the body speaks. And it starts with small signs. Signs of irritability, spinning mind, uneasiness, disrupted sleep, the inability to switch off, to focus. But we ignore it. Suppress it. We keep pushing ourselves. The tension remains in charge!
And the body starts sending warning signs - bigger ones. And if we don't stop, we will have to. The body will make us. And then we wake up!

But we don't have to wait for that day to come.

So what can we do?
Imagine every emotion as a cocktail in your body. Cell studies now show that when we experience emotions, a specific 'cocktail' of emotions is released into our body.
Let's think through what happens with stress. The daily build-up of 'stress cocktails' effect us on the level of our cells and specific organs. The cells store this stress and these stress hormones start to cause changes in our cells and organs, which can lead to problems in the long term.

So here comes the solution. According to brain science, just by speaking about our problems, the emotional tension starts to release its hold - we become lighter. When we pay attention every day to our emotions - they signal to us. In a relaxed state of mind, we can start to listen to the body. What do we feel, where did it come from? We start to remember and through daily cleansing our mind and emotions and letting go - we can liberate ourselves, dissolve these emotional build-ups and start to re-build our health. From the inside. Forgive and let go. Start today.
These practices and rituals used to form an integral part of humanity but in recent times we moved away from looking after our minds, souls, emotions.
Looking after the body through a diet, exercise, good sleep is very important, but not enough. We need to allow it to also be able to let go of our emotions.
So do not just cleanse your body on the outside - do a mind-shower every day. Release the build-up of the day.
Remember, tomorrow is a new day.
Look after yourself.

I highly recommend HaveningTechniques® to free yourself from built-up emotions. 🙏🙌🏻💕
