Your Nervous System Decides Which Version of You Shows Up
When life squeezes you, only one thing comes out: what you have inside. I help leaders learn to shift their state – so they can access the wisdom, patience, and clarity that stress locks away.
You’ve Tried Thinking Your Way Through It
You’ve read the books. Done the mindset work. Told yourself to stay calm, think positive, push through. And it works until it doesn’t.
Under real pressure, the strategies collapse. You snap at someone you love. You freeze in a meeting where you needed to speak up. You lie awake replaying a conversation you wish had gone differently.
This isn’t a character flaw. It’s biology. You cannot think your way out of a nervous system state.
But you can learn to shift it. And when the state shifts, everything shifts with it.
About Dr. Josh
I’m an organizational psychologist who spent years studying why smart, capable people fall apart under pressure – and what separates those who recover quickly from those who don’t.
The answer wasn’t mindset. It was the nervous system.
Today, I help leaders understand that their capacity isn’t fixed. It fluctuates based on their internal state. And that state can be intentionally shifted – if you know how.
How I Work With Leaders
Keynote Speaking
Science-grounded talks that change how your audience understands stress, leadership, and human performance. Audiences leave with practical tools they can use immediately – not just inspiration that fades by Monday.
Corporate Training
Programs that build organizational capacity for sustained performance under pressure. Teams learn to recognize dysregulation in themselves and others, intervene early, and recover quickly.
Executive Coaching
One-on-one work for leaders who need to expand their capacity without burning out. We identify your patterns, build your toolkit, and develop the internal infrastructure that lets your best self show up consistently.
The Book
S.T.A.T.E.: The Operating System You Never Knew You Had
Every leader has moments when they become someone they don’t recognize – reactive, defensive, shut down. This book explains why that happens and provides a practical framework for accessing the version of yourself each moment requires.
Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, organizational psychology, and two decades of work with leaders under pressure, S.T.A.T.E. offers what mindset-based approaches can’t: a way to work with your biology instead of against it.
