The Cost of Split-Second Decisions

Drawing from real frontline crisis work, and psychology, this talk explores what happens when two overwhelmed nervous systems collide. One person is in crisis, survival-driven and reactive. The other is tasked with making fast decisions that carry real consequences. You examine how fear, bias, stress, and past experience shape those moments and how one rushed choice on either side can permanently change a life. Attendees leave with a deeper respect for the weight of those moments and practical ways to reduce harm when seconds matter.

Why choose me?
