The Applied Neuroscience of Overcoming Executive Burnout in Cape Town’s Corporate Sectors

The Amygdala Hijack: What is Happening to Your Brain?
When chronic stress targets senior leaders, strategy and technical training fail. Neurologically, your prefrontal cortex is hijacked by deep-rooted threat responses, inducing chronic overwhelm, defensive decision-making, and structural fatigue.
“The hardest problems in any organisation aren’t technical. They’re human. When life allows, we must proactively shift the neural paths driving performance.”
