For when your body thinks a meeting is a bear attack

Where it shows up:

Hot-seat questions; surprise “could you present that now?” moments; feedback that lands like a punch.

You’ll learn:

• What that tight-chest, shaky-voice thing actually is — and how to dial it down in 90 seconds
• A breathing reset you can use between agenda items
• How to look composed even when your heart’s sprinting

Career ROI (why your manager notices):

• Fewer derails under pressure → steadier delivery, less rework
• Clearer voice in high-stakes rooms → decisions faster
• Teams mirror calm → fewer fire drills

Company win: calm, healthy teams are more productive and miss fewer days — the stuff that adds up to real dollars at scale.

When “what’s the point?” keeps showing up but rent still exists

What it looks like:

Dragging on key projects, rejection hangovers, Sunday scaries becoming weekday scaries.

You’ll learn:

• How to restart without fake positivity
• Micro-wins that rebuild momentum
• Real emotional skills (not “just be grateful”) that reduce the crash after setbacks

Career ROI:

• Fewer down-weeks → steadier throughput
• Faster bounce-back after losses → projects keep moving
• Lower burnout risk → less absenteeism and churn

Organization-level ROI: better well-being links to lower absenteeism and stronger retention. 

Because 3 AM reruns of tomorrow’s meeting don’t help you nail it

The nightly mess:

Brain won’t shut up; replaying old mistakes; body tired, mind wired.

30-minute fix includes:

• Counter-arousal breathing you can use in bed
• “If-then” plans for middle-of-the-night wakeups
• Daytime tweaks that make sleep easier at night

Career ROI:

• Sharper focus, fewer errors
• Better decision quality and mood stability
• Energy left after work (for, you know, life)

Teams that actually recover perform better; it ladders up to productivity and fewer costly mistakes. 

Stop letting work colonize every last corner of your day

Right now:

11 PM Slack, “quick syncs,” weekends as “catch-up,” vacations that aren’t.

What helps:

• Boundaries that don’t nuke your career
• Planning fallacy antidotes (why everything takes 3× longer) — and how to plan for reality
• Good stress vs. bad stress — use one, ditch the other

Career ROI:

• Sustainable pace → fewer sick days
• Priorities actually get done → higher quality output
• Lower burnout → lower turnover

Healthier workforces measurably improve performance (absenteeism ↓, productivity ↑).

When “they’ll figure me out” runs your meetings

The thoughts:

“I’m faking it.” “Everyone else is smarter.” “If I speak up, I’ll blow it.”

You’ll learn:

• Evidence-based ways to edit your inner narration
• Speak-up reps that don’t trigger a shame hangover
• How to advocate for yourself without cringing

Career ROI:

• More contribution → better decisions, faster
• Real self-advocacy → promotions and fair pay conversations get easier
• Less rumination → more time on deep work

Why is starting so hard — and how to make finishing normal

The pattern:

47 tabs. Desk organizing instead of doing. Analysis paralysis. Starts everywhere, finishes nowhere.

You’ll learn:

• Break the start barrier (and turn “later” into two minutes now)
• Plan like an adult (with buffers that survive reality)
• Atomic habits that compound instead of collapse

Career ROI:

• More done-done → fewer late nights and apologies
• Cleaner estimates → fewer budget/time overruns
• Less context-switching → higher quality output

Quick bias check: the planning fallacy is why projects run 45% over and deliver ~56% less value — we teach outside-view planning to cut that.

For brains with 73 open tabs (and 3 are playing audio)

Daily chaos:

Five-minute attention span; phone wins every time; ten starts, zero finishes.

The coach helps with:

• Attention management that isn’t “try harder”
• Impulse control you can actually practice
• Workflows that fit your brain, not fight it

Career ROI:

• Fewer dropped balls → less rework and apology tours
• Consistent focus blocks → quality goes up
• Better organization → projects stop leaking time

When life goes off-script and work still expects you on Tuesday

Plot twists:

Layoffs. Breakups. Loss. Moves. Big change all at once.

You’ll learn:

• Process without falling apart
• Find meaning when the map changes
• Brief interventions for acute stress that actually help

Career ROI:

• Stability through change → fewer drop-offs
• Adaptability → less lag during reorgs
• Quieter team stress → steadier delivery

Stop letting anger, guilt, and shame run your calendar

The storm:

Snapping in meetings; guilt spirals; the 2019 thing you still replay.

You’ll learn:

• How emotions are predictions (and how to update them)
• Anger skills beyond “just breathe”
• Self-compassion that isn’t woo-woo, it’s practical

Career ROI:

• Less conflict → fewer escalations and HR time
• Clean feedback loops → growth without drama
• Emotional control → people trust you with messy work

Turns out we need people (annoying but true)

The isolation station:

Remote haze; networking dread; small talk avoidance; feeling alone in a full office.

AI coach shows:

• Authentic connection (not LinkedIn-performative)
• How to navigate conflict without burns
• Listening that actually lands

Career ROI:

• Better collaboration → fewer stalls
• Faster trust → smoother cross-team work
• Reduced loneliness → better health, better work

Social connection isn’t soft — lacking it raises mortality risk like smoking ~15 cigarettes/day and hurts performance.
