Ever wondered why you react a certain way under pressure? Or why some leaders stay calm while others break down?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Dan Radecki, neuroscientist and Chief Scientific Officer at the Academy of Brain-Based Leadership, to decode what really happens in the brain of a leader.

He breaks down powerful insights on:
– Why stress pushes you into “fight-or-flight” mode
– How the brain makes emotional vs. rational decisions
– The real meaning of psychological safety
– What triggers leaders the most - and how to control those triggers
– Simple science - backed habits to build a resilient brain

This isn’t a typical leadership talk - it’s a deep dive into the neuroscience behind behaviour, decision-making, team dynamics and burnout. Whether you're a student, young professional, aspiring leader or simply curious about how the brain drives leadership, this episode is for you.

Watch till the end for practical tools like labelling emotions, managing psychological triggers and using mindfulness to strengthen your brain.
