You’ve heard the acronym: VUCA: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous.

But here’s what most people don’t talk about…

When you’re leading in VUCA conditions, your brain isn’t just stressed it’s hijacked. Cortisol spikes. Rational thinking? Compromised. And the default becomes decision paralysis.

That’s why inside the Resilient Leaders community, we don’t rely on vibes we use the AHA Framework (Attitude, Habits, Actions).

It’s our go-to playbook when uncertainty starts creeping in.

Here’s your insider summary from this month’s Lunch & Learn:

Attitude Shift:
Want to unlock clearer thinking under pressure? Rewire your response.
→ Instead of “This is too much,” say “This is my chance to innovate.”

🧠 Neuro-insight: Neuroplasticity means your brain can literally rewire with the right mindset. It’s not fluff it’s function.

🔁 Habit Hack:
Decision fatigue is real. Cut through the noise with this:
→ Start your day by naming one task that actually matters.

🧠 Why it works: This tiny ritual keeps your prefrontal cortex sharp no more wasting brainpower on low-value stuff.

Insider Insight: Why I Lean Into BJ Fogg’s Work

I didn’t mention this during the training but here’s the real reason BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits research made it into the AHA Framework...

Because it works when your brain is overloaded.
When VUCA hits, complexity multiplies. Leaders are already tired, overwhelmed, and over-scheduled. I knew I couldn’t recommend habits that felt like more work.

BJ Fogg’s approach to habit formation is rooted in tiny, achievable actions that anchor to routines you're already doing.

Insider tip: Imperfect action activates your reward system making it easier to follow through next time.
