We all have it….
It’s our nervous system. Pro athletes know it, successful entrepreneurs know it and now I’m ensuring that the future generations know it and learn how to harness it for success.
Last week, I was privileged to speak to A level students at one of the country’s leading girls schools. Bright, ambitious and naturally carrying the weight of an important year ahead & a big transition into adulthood.
I told them something it’s likely no one had ever told them before:
“Your nervous system is your superpower.”
We spoke about the biology behind calm and nervous system states and why emotional regulation is the ultimate performance enhancer.
Not everyone teaches this yet. But they will.
Because once you understand your nervous system & you start learning to harness its power you become UNSTOPPABLE.
And that’s what true power looks like. Mastery and regulation of the self.
By the end, after the exercises, the atmosphere had shifted.
You could feel the room exhale with all those ventral vagus nerves stimulated.
If we want a generation of emotionally intelligent leaders – in schools, in business, in government – this is where we start. Because real education begins when we teach young people how to regulate, not just how to achieve.
