Ever felt a sudden rush of frustration in a meeting… or the urge to snap back at feedback?

That’s your inner chimp at work.

In this episode, we break down the powerful concept from Steve Peters’ The Chimp Paradox and explore how your brain really works under pressure. From emotional reactions to logical thinking, understanding your “chimp” could be the key to better decision-making, stronger relationships, and improved performance at work.

If you’re a leader or professional navigating high-pressure environments, this episode will give you tools you can apply immediately.
