Beyond Triggers: Why People React the Way They Do

Why do even the best leaders lose logic when pressure takes over?

Most leaders think resistance, overreaction, or disengagement are performance issues, but they’re often survival strategies in disguise.

Control, approval-seeking, avoiding conflict, stirring up drama - these aren’t random behaviours.
They’re the brain’s way of trying to stay safe when it feels threatened.

The problem? Those same patterns shape how teams communicate, make decisions, and handle pressure.
And when they collide - control meets avoidance, approval meets drama - progress stalls, relationships strain, and trust breaks

down.

It’s time to stop taking reactions at face value and start understanding what’s really driving them.
Because when leaders can see beyond the trigger, they can lead, and communicate with clarity instead of frustration

Join this session, “Beyond Triggers: Why People React the Way They Do,” on November 20th.
Uncover the survival strategies that shape human behaviour and learn how awareness transforms reactivity into real leadership growth.

Why This Event is Different

Most leadership sessions tell you what good leadership looks like.
This one helps you actually do it - in the messy moments when people are stressed, deadlines shift, and emotions run the meeting.
You’ll walk away with strategies you can use the very next day.

Who Should Attend

If you’re a leader who sometimes gets triggered (yes, you) and wants to stop stress from running the show - this is for you.
For leaders who want to feel more composed under pressure, handle difficult moments better, and lead without being hijacked by stress.
If you’ve ever walked away from a meeting thinking, “Why did I react like that?” this session will make everything click.
