In this episode, Erin and Toral sit down with Jeff Benton and Brett Weinroth, co-founders of Paragon Performance Evolution, to explore the science and practice of “coherence” – a physiological state where the heart, brain, and nervous system are aligned. Jeff and Brett unpack how chronic stress quietly shapes our behavior, limits empathy and trust, and impacts decision-making in the workplace. Through research, real-world examples, and personal stories of growth, this conversation highlights why self-regulation is foundational to effective, inclusive leadership and why meaningful culture change starts from the inside out.
