Crisis Management and How to Handle it

Episode 146 Released September 21, 2023 This week's guest is Constance Dierickx, a globally renowned authority in navigating decision-making processes. With a track record of providing counsel to leaders and addressing audiences in over 20 nations, she is well known. As the founder and president of CD Consulting Group, she serves a diverse clientele encompassing many corporations, private equity organisations and major non-profit entities worldwide. Our conversation goes on to highlight how stress can further impair decision-making abilities, whether it's caused by crisis or the pursuit of personal goals. We discuss the biochemical aspects of stress and its impact on the brain, explaining that stress doesn't simply shut down parts of the brain but affects the entire brain network. We also emphasise the difference between short-lived stressors and chronic stress, with the latter leading to tricky behaviours and psychological suffering. Visit www.suefirthltd.com for more.
