Explosive Growth means success to you, your sales team and investors. But, without adequate preparation, what is the impact on the rest of your organization?

Prior to the onset of any big change, prepare your people to elevate their performance and mental well-being.

Even if you don’t see change coming.

Neuroscience research shows the Prefrontal Cortex, which controls inhibition and executive functioning, can be impaired when your team is under managing stress whether that stress is from the office or home.

When the Prefrontal Cortex misfires the ability to inhibit emotions and unwanted behaviors are impaired. This leads to derailed collaboration and negotiations undermining the organization and driving the loss of key employees.

Management’s inappropriate words or anger outbursts can damage team functioning and subsequently lower productivity, collaboration and motivation. 

Ensuring that all levels of the team are able to keep reactivity in check is critical to an effective team dynamic.

“In an effort to gear up for a surge in business, the management team at DLA Architects was seeking a way to help our employees cope with upcoming stress. Debbie Vyskocil helped our team to identify what stress looks like in their body, along with how it impacts health, memory and cognitive functioning. She brought us a variety of techniques team members can use to deal effectively with both work and personal challenges.  Thanks to Debbie, we were prepared for the “end of the year crunch” and we now have a healthier staff that is ready for whatever the new year brings.”

Brain Pause™Sessions: Support the mental well-being of your people.

Mental well-being is a considerable concern for your people as “uncertainty”, “change” and “pivot” have become standard words in our vocabulary.

What if you could support them on their terms? OEP brings your team a custom, live online 20-minute session 2 times each week. Those sessions are recorded and available for 24 hours to your team members who would like to utilize them.

Brain Pause™ Sessions offer them options on their personal schedule. Supporting your people with their mental well-being while giving them the autonomy to choose when and how often they want to participate.

Brain Pause™ Sessions are 50% science and 50% experiential. We start with the science, because without a why habits will not change, and changing habits to improve and protect mental well-being is what it is about.
