Lessons from the tall chair - The 6 Social Skills for Psychological Safety & Joy at Work

Why I Wrote This Book

The Science & Soul of Team Transformation

I wrote this book because I’ve seen too many talented people merely surviving at work when they could be thriving. From looking directly into John McEnroe’s eyes on the courts of Wimbledon to leading complex corporate transformations, I’ve discovered how our brains, nervous systems, and hearts work together to co-create extraordinary teams. Through heart rate variability and conversational neurochemistry, I’ve learned that even the most intense personalities aren’t mean—they’re deeply passionate. This insight changed everything about how I approach challenging relationships and team dynamics.

The 6 Social skills aren’t just nice-to-have tools; they’re scientifically proven bridges between survival mode and joy at work. Every early career professional deserves to know how to create psychological safety through the power of conversation and connection. This book combines cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient and soul-sourced wisdom to transform teams from fearful to fearless. Because when we understand how our brain, nervous system and heart energy works together within us, we can easily co-create the conditions for genuine joy at work with others.
