Airports full of bowed heads and glowing screens told us something we couldn’t ignore: we’re hyper-connected and emotionally disconnected. So we took that tension to a room of HR leaders in London and asked a hard question—what if the most reliable path to profit starts with the human nervous system?

We reframe ROI as Return on Intention and break it into three practical levers: Regulation, Ownership, and Integrity. Through real client stories, we show how a pause-before-send protocol saves relationships and decisions when stress spikes. We explore how blame cycles kill learning, and how shifting from hostile why to compassionate curiosity keeps teams engaged through failure. And we examine the cost of integrity gaps—those moments when hiring promises collide with impossible workloads—and why people don’t just leave jobs, they leave misalignment.

This conversation blends lived experience, recovery wisdom, and neuroscience into a modern, trauma-informed framework leaders can use to build emotionally sober cultures. You’ll hear how to turn inventories into post-mortems that teach, how to make integrity measurable by tracking promise-keeping, and why tending to the person behind the performance drives retention, innovation, and productivity. The takeaway is simple and bold: invest in emotional ROI first, and the financial ROI follows.

If this resonates, tap follow, share with a colleague who shapes culture, and leave a review to help more leaders find it. Want a deeper dive or a keynote for your team? Check the show notes to book a free discovery call.
