Making Leadership Work Season 6 –The Nervous System Advantage

In Season 6, Dr Michelle McQuaid and Evie Wright share small, neurologically-informed, somatic and brain-based practices that settle your nervous system and support others to do the same when navigating uncertainty and change together.

Your nervous system affects everyone around you. Learn to care for yours first — then share the tools. With your team. Your organization. Your clients. Your family and friends. For minimizing psychosocial risks. For making it easier to navigate change. For the moments when people are struggling and need to know how to trust themselves and each other. Join us for three episodes packed with actionable insights you can immediately apply. 

EPISODE #1 – Decode Your Nervous System Signals

Discover why the pace of change has left so many of us quietly cracking — and why this isn't a personal energy or resilience failing. Learn how to decode the signals your nervous system sends: why you say "I'm fine" when you're anything but, or "I'll take care of it" when you're exhausted.

EPISODE #2 – Build Your Take-Anywhere Somatic Toolkit

Our bodies have to calm down before our thoughts can follow — and this is the step most of us skip. Discover body-based tools you can use anywhere, anytime: in meetings, during difficult conversations, or mid-presentation (without anyone noticing). Learn how to build a portable toolkit to settle your system — and something practical to share with others.

EPISODE #3 – Learn To Trust Yourself When Challenged

Understand what makes it safe enough to admit mistakes, ask for help, and learn alongside each other — even when you're struggling. In this final episode of our special bonus season, hosts Dr Michelle McQuaid and Evie Wright share the powerful mantra "stay with me" — the opposite of abandoning ourselves when things get hard. With insights from self-compassion researcher Dr Kristin Neff and Internal Family Systems psychologist Dr Tori Olds, discover why your inner critic thinks it's helping (even when it's not), and learn to meet your protective parts with curiosity instead of shame. Explore how to navigate what's ahead without pretending you have all the answers — and help others do the same.
