Episode notes
Coach Dysregulation Instead Of Punish It
- Do coach to observed dysregulation instead of defaulting to punitive actions.
- Ashley says coaching dysregulation is strategic, not permissive, because unresolved dysregulation perpetuates performance problems.
Look At Systems Not Just Individuals
- Dysregulation isn't only individual; it's entangled with the system and role expectations.
- Ashley reframes questions from 'what's wrong with this person' to 'what is this system asking them to hold and have we given them a container?'
Prioritize Humanity And Embodied Self Awareness
- Prioritize your own humanity and learn to live in your body to better regulate and hold others.
- Ashley coaches leaders to notice bodily cues (stomach, sensations) because mental-only awareness limits capacity to support others.
