The Zones

We’ve developed a regulation curve™ that maps the brain’s patterns into zones and shows how performance and effectiveness vary as the zones change. It’s a simple and memorable tool that shows the link between stress and performance: 1. Gray Zone. Too little stress/challenge and performance is low. Individuals who are bored, distracted, or in a rut have too little stress and challenge. 2. Green Zone. Individuals are present calm or alert, are able to access their best thinking and perform at their best. 3. Red Zone. Individuals feel anxious, unsafe or alarmed and are unable to access their best thinking. Our Resilience Builder app is used at the beginning of the session to identify a stress/performance baseline and after to see how the tools are helping participants manage the zones and regulate in real-time.

Resilience Building Sequence

The sequence includes four elements to help build resilience. 1. Regulate. Manage stress and emotions. 2. Relate. Connect to build trust and create psychological safety. 3. Perform. Our best thinking can only be accessed after we regulate and relate. 4. Sustain. Once individuals regulate, relate, and perform, they make it part of their Daily Operating Rhythm ®.

Regulation Techniques

Practical tips on how to regulate yourself and others. 1. Bottom up. Change your biology and physiology (walking meetings, breathing exercises, taking breaks). 2. Top down. Change your thinking to approach stress differently (reframe thoughts, pre-planning for red zone events, build in buffers for reactive responses). 3. Relational. Interact and connect with others to help regulate (positive conversations, listening, demonstrating empathy).

1-2-1 Conversations™

Brief 3- to 5-minute conversations to help regulate participants, relate to others better, improve performance, and build resilience. Participants practice these conversations in the session and with their teams back on the job.

Daily Operating Rhythm ®

Each participant commits to 15 minutes a day to integrate this approach and tools into their daily routine.
