Ep 194 - How somatic awareness improves leadership and decision-making
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your leadership challenges are just as much physiological as they are strategic?
In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores how somatic awareness — your ability to notice what’s happening in your body — directly impacts leadership presence, stress regulation, and decision-making.
Drawing on research in embodied cognition and interoception, Jess breaks down why leadership skills require this nervous system skillset.
You’ll learn:
- How your body signals stress before your mind catches up
- Why “gut instinct” is grounded in neuroscience
- How interoception improves emotional intelligence and regulation
- The role of nervous system regulation in team culture and psychological safety
- Practical ways to build somatic awareness in high-stakes moments
Because your team responds more to your state than your strategy.
If you want clearer thinking, calmer communication, and more authentic leadership — it starts with noticing what your body is telling you.
🎧 Tune in to learn why the body never lies — and how to lead from that awareness.
