On Tuesday, a whole civilization was threatened with annihilation.

Whether or not you follow politics, this affects the human system.

When you can't predict the outcome, and you're not able to affect the result, your body goes subconsciously into a sympathetic nervous system response. Doesn't matter if you want that or not.

It's biology.

And the same biology runs through your leadership team, your creative department, and every person expected to make good decisions right now.

Here's what happens - and what will help.

→ Save it. Share it with your team. And if you want to understand your (or your organization's) nervous system baseline, the Coherence Audit is 15 minutes and complimentary.

At my core, I’m a designer. Designers are problem

At my core, I’m a designer.

Designers are problem solvers. They trace a problem back to its root — then build the solution there.

The problem I help solve?

Reduce bad product.

Or bad decision making

Or lack of creativity.

Here’s where the root of all that actually is:

We make bad products or decisions when we can’t think clearly.
↓
We can’t think clearly when we’re afraid.
↓
We are afraid, when we don’t feel safe.
↓
We don’t feel safe when we can’t predict what comes next.

...

Since 2020 — and the years of cascading instability that followed — our autonomic nervous systems have been running a survival program.

And here’s what happens in survival mode:

We can’t be inspired. We can’t innovate. We can’t collaborate, connect, or grow. The creative bandwidth shuts down.

Not because we’ve lost talent.

Because our biology is focused on survival.

It’s not a motivation problem. It’s not a culture problem (it just turns into one).

It’s biology.

So what now?

Create safety. Not the inspirational quote kind we see on Instagram — the physiological kind.

Accessing your own nervous system and getting into the parasympathetic response on demand.

That’s the work I do now.

I may no longer call myself a designer. But I’m still designing — just now it’s experiences that help you return to safety, connection, and presence in your own body.

Which can be done at scale.

So you can think. Create. Lead.

So you can do your best work.

(You don’t have to consider yourself a ‘creative’ for this to work for you)

*In 2010, creativity researcher KH Kim named what the data had been showing for two decades: a “Creativity Crisis” — a measurable, steady decline in creative thinking scores since 1990.

And that was before Covid.

BTW. Thanks to @archityke for inspiring this post after I saw his speech about The Future of Design at USC last night.

Two CEOs are navigating this market right now. On

Two CEOs are navigating this market right now.

One feels locked in. The other is waking up at 3:17am.

Both are running on the same survival instinct.

Tunnel vision doesn’t announce itself. It feels like drive. Until the big picture is gone.

Your nervous system is not a soft topic. It’s the operating system everything else runs on.
