Join PVI Course Partners Mathilde Shisko and Michael Allison with their special guest, Susanna Sjoberg for a powerful free online Community Conversation about the old paradigm of leadership and business—the pressure-cooker culture that fuels competition through fear, rewards those who can stay in fight the longest, and leaves nervous systems locked in chronic threat. Together, we’ll explore how this model undermines creativity, collaboration, and our collective potential. While “psychological safety” has become a buzzword, it often fails to account for bodies that don’t feel safe. This conversation introduces Autonomic Agility™—a Polyvagal-informed framework for navigating competitive, high-stakes environments with adaptability, presence, and trust. It's time to challenge the myth that pressure produces excellence, and to reimagine leadership as a practice of supporting safety, flexibility, and performance from the inside out.
