React or Respond: The Six Seconds that Changes Everything

What happens in the six seconds after you’re triggered? That moment can fuel conflict, or transform it. How do you choose which path you’ll take?

Polarization. Burnout. Miscommunication. We’re living in a time where emotional reactivity is running high, and conflict feels inevitable. But between the trigger and the reaction, there’s a brief moment of possibility. That space can change everything: How do we expand it and use it intentionally? It takes just six seconds. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore the neuroscience of emotional responses and how to use emotional intelligence to interrupt the automatic reaction cycle. You’ll gain insights and tools to help yourself and others pause, reflect, and respond with intention, especially when emotions are high. Whether you're leading a team, coaching a client, or just trying to navigate daily tensions, this session offers a powerful, practical reset.

 

Key Takeaways:

What really drives reactivity: Understand the emotional and brain-based patterns that escalate conflict.

The Six Seconds pause: A simple, powerful tool to shift from reaction to response.

Coaching & leadership strategies: How to model and teach this skill to reduce conflict and increase connection.
