About
Most people teaching about the nervous system are coming from the wellness world. I'm coming from leadership and from my own lived experience of doing the hard work of understanding my biology, healing my nervous system, and learning what it actually takes to lead from a place of steadiness rather than survival. I hold an MA in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and am currently completing my doctorate in leadership. I'm the author of two Amazon bestselling books, including my most recent on trauma-informed leadership, and a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. Before founding Resilient Voices, I spent seventeen years as a leader in the corporate world of big pharma and over a decade running my own consulting practice working with leaders and organizations. I founded Resilient Voices because I believe nervous system literacy is not a wellness practice, it's a leadership competency. And I believe the leaders who do this work don't just change how they lead. They change the systems around them. I bring rigour, honesty, and a perspective that doesn't shy away from the harder questions including why this work looks different depending on where you're standing.
Stop Overriding Your Biology: How Nervous System Literacy Changes the Way You Lead
Most leaders have been taught that performance means pushing through. Push through the stress, push through the exhaustion, push through the discomfort of hard conversations. But what if that approach is working against the very thing you're trying to build? In this talk, Carolyn Hart introduces somatic intelligence — the body knowledge that sits underneath cognitive and emotional intelligence — and makes the case that it's the missing competency in leadership development. Drawing on nervous system science, her own healing work, and years of experience with leaders and organizations, Carolyn reframes what it means to lead well: not as someone who overrides their biology, but as someone who knows how to work with it. Leaders who attend this talk leave with a new lens on their own patterns under pressure, language for what their nervous system is actually doing, and a starting point for building the kind of inner steadiness that changes how they show up for the people they lead.
