We’ve all felt it – that feeling of moving too fast, making snap decisions, and taking the risk of damaging action. Where are the days of the 1980s when life moved a bit slower and we had time and space to think? Gone, gone, gone. This talk is about navigating the storm of reactivity. We will go on a journey that includes five stops where we reach thoughtful decisions for action. Each stop serves to reduce our tendency to be reactive to the constant stimuli coming at us. The stops are a process for practicing Response over Reaction.
