Have you ever wished you could go back and change what you said or did in a situation? Reacting to an event is good in an emergency but arises from unconscious, more primitive parts of the brain and can lead to regretting things we said or did if used in non-emergency situations. Responding, not reacting, is what most of us strive for because it allows space to make better decisions.

This program will uncover simple techniques that allow you to pause and use higher brain centers in making a more thought-out response. Imagine how nice it will be to feel in control or your responses and avoid the regret of hurting someone.

After this program you will be able to:

• Explain the benefits of a response compared to a reaction
• Identify 3 ways you can shift from reaction to response mode
