Dysregulated Nervous System & Toxic Workplaces
It started offline as a challenge about using the word 'toxic' to describe workplaces, cultures, teams that were being made sick by dysregulated leaders. 3 minutes in to this debate and Roseanne and I hit record. This felt like one for the library. Roseanne Reilly, joins this series as a master practitioner of nervous system restoration. She speaks fluently on the topic of trauma, stress, body, and behaviour joining me (Shannon Eastman) for deep dives into the practical application of this science in business. I've brought up the idea of the toxic boss for a year now after looking in my own rearview mirror at my past self and seeing that my dysregulated nervous system, dysregulated others. Was that what we mean by toxic bosses? Roseanne says No! Let's not be hasty as toxic is a big word, void of compassion for a lot of people suffering and leaking all over the shop. We also flipped the table and looked at this from the perspective of the dysregulated employee, working in the dysregulated business and got honest about what they might call it on the receiving end of working with/for a toxic boss. Roseanne brings her insight and expertise to the table to explain what, why and how this is happening, and when we might want to call it toxic, and when we might want to call it something else. While we don't bring any specific direction to labels, and constructs, we do open up a big conversation about what is going in the workplace through, and why, at the bottom of toxic workplaces, we find a lot of dysregulated nervous systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ROSEANNE REILLY Roseanne Reilly LinkedIn > HandsofTimeHealing.com R.I.S.E. by Roseanne: her Flagship Self-Directed Program for $97 USD > ABOUT SHANNON EASTMAN Shannon Eastman on LinkedIn > NeuroRituals.com NB3.io ABOUT #WTTLO?

On this side of it, I reckon a lot more can be done to improve the sign posts that mark the way out.
