Denial, Deliberation, and the Decisive Moment: How to train your brain to react more effectively in an emergency.
Contrary to the common perception of people panicking and stampeding during a disaster, it is more common to deny a disaster is happening. Our brains tend to interpret information as if it is part of our everyday experience. Because of this, people tend to underestimate both the likelihood of an emergency and the severity of its possible effects. We will learn how to quickly move through denial and deliberation to the decisive moment we take action. Action that can save our lives and the lives of those around us. Learn how fighter pilots, football players, and law enforcement train to remove themselves from chaos, find clarity, and make split-second decisions. Increase your understanding of the Standard Response Protocol, see how it helps you react to an emergency, and learn strategies to help you perform under pressure.
