Nervous System Leadership: Ann de Passos on Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Practice, and Resilient Teams
In this returning conversation, we welcome back Ann de Passos, leadership consultant, coach, and facilitator who specializes in nervous system–informed leadership. Drawing on 15+ years across charity, corporate, and social enterprise sectors, Ann guides leaders and teams to operate from clarity, relational intelligence, and embodied resilience.
We take a deep dive into the nervous system and Polyvagal Theory to answer a simple but powerful question: How do we learn to be human? Ann explains why understanding the body’s wiring is the essential first step to changing how we lead, communicate, and respond under pressure. Topics include:
The basics of Polyvagal Theory and why the nervous system shapes behavior at work
Somatic practices leaders can use to reduce burnout and recover faster from stress
Systems thinking + emotional intelligence: designing cultures that sustain people and performance
Practical tools for strengthening team connection, psychological safety, and values-led decision making
If you’re a leader, manager, coach, or anyone who wants to lead from steadiness instead of reactivity, this episode offers grounded science, practical exercises, and real-world strategies to build healthier, high-performing organisations.
