We’ve all been there.

Tensions are rising. Demands are clashing. Everyone’s looking at you to keep it together.

In high-stakes moments, how you respond can either fuel the fire—or steady the storm.

In Episode 19 of Master Stress with Dr. S, we close out the Brain at Work series with a powerful conversation:

“Crisis, Conflict & Clarity: How to Lead When Everyone’s Losing It.”

🎧 Listen to Episode 19: 

This episode is for leaders and HR professionals navigating:

✔️ Conflict-heavy conversations and emotional overload.

✔️ Crisis reactivity in teams and how it impacts decision-making.

✔️ Practical, science-based tools like the physiological sigh, tactical reframing, and post-conflict resets.

✔️ The ripple effect of a leader’s emotional state—and how to stay in your prefrontal cortex when it matters most.

You don’t need to choose between compassion and control.

You can lead with both—calmly, clearly, and effectively.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to stay composed while others unravel, this episode is your guide.
