Hijacked! Reclaiming Calm and Building Resilience Under Pressure by Jodi DeRoo

Ever had a moment where your reaction was way bigger than the situation called for? That’s the amygdala hijack at work. In this engaging session, Jodi DeRoo explains what’s happening in the brain during emotionally intense moments and how these responses affect our communication, leadership, and decision-making. But recognizing the hijack is just the beginning. Jodi also explores how to build resilience—the ability to recover quickly and respond wisely—using science-backed tools that rewire our stress response, regulate emotion, and restore clarity. Whether you're leading a team, navigating a difficult conversation, or just managing everyday stress, this session offers practical strategies to stay grounded, lead with strength, and bounce back stronger.
