It is well-established that our performance and leadership success is profoundly connected to our emotional well-being and physical health. Building on Colonel Boyd's OODA Loop and Reversal Theory, this workshop provides a set of comprehensive Situational, Cognitive, and Emotional dominance tools to activate positive and critical emotional intelligence attributes.

Derived from over 70 years of combined education, research, consulting, and training for the military, academia, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and others, these tools strengthen our psychological hardiness and manifest courage, control, and commitment, initiating a positive psychological mentality for maximized resilience, well-being, and leadership performance.
