Relationships at Work - The Leadership Guide to Building Workplace Connections and Avoiding Blind Spots.
Why Leaders Need Neuro-Fitness: Building Regulation and Real Impact w/ Mallory Meyer
What does it mean to be a neuro-fit leader?
In this episode of Relationships at Work, host Russel Lolacher is joined by trauma-sensitive, polyvagal-informed leadership and neuro coach Mallory Meyer to unpack the real power of nervous system regulation in leadership. Together, they explore why leaders can’t think their way to better leadership — they have to feel it. Mallory shares how neuro-fitness supports emotional agility, improves decision-making, and helps leaders show up with authenticity and calm in high-stress environments.
They also discuss:
– Why resilience gets misused in the workplace
– What co-regulation looks like in teams
– Tangible tools to reset your nervous system in real-time
– The connection between diversity, performance, and embodied leadership
– How modeling neuro-fitness can shift organizational culture from the inside out
