Today, we're diving into the "Fight, Flight, and Freeze" responses—yes, you heard that right. While commonly associated with survival mechanisms, these reactions can also impact your career decisions and job satisfaction. So let's explore how each response manifests in a work context and what the pros and cons are.

Why This Topic?
Addressing the concept of survival in the context of your career.

Benefits:

• Quick resolution potential
• Professional growth
• Seen as assertive or leadership quality

Challenges:

• Risk of workplace conflict

Challenges:
