Summary:

"Within us all is a huge pool of untapped potential. We can discover this when we learn how to manage our instinctive response to the crises and pressures we face, especially now. The need for improved mental, physical and emotional wellbeing, and the ability to inspire a resilient mindset has never been greater. We were never designed to run in stress mode, and in a seemingly constant state of fight or flight. So, in those situations where we have little control over the sources of pressure, our only option is to influence the way in which we respond. Unashamedly Superhuman is a neuroscience-based peak performance training for anyone interested in reversing the impact of distraction and uncertainty. Combining powerful elements of executive coaching with scientific research and cutting-edge delivery to produce a powerful solution, Unashamedly Superhuman helps you accomplish your wildest professional goals while reclaiming time, space and freedom in your personal life"-- Provided by publisher.
