Mind Reboot: Dr. Don Wood on Trauma, Performance & DNA Healing

It's Graham, and today on the Intentional Leadership Podcast, I had a truly mind-bending conversation with Dr. Don Wood, founder of the Inspired Performance Institute. If you've ever felt stuck, held back by past experiences, or just want to tap into a higher level of performance, you absolutely need to hear what Dr. Wood has to say. Dr. Wood's journey is unique – he didn't set out to be a doctor. His driving force was to literally save his daughter's life from debilitating autoimmune diseases that conventional medicine couldn't cure. This quest led him down a path of groundbreaking research into trauma, the brain, and our DNA, ultimately developing a revolutionary approach called the "TIP method." In this episode, Mind Reboot: Dr. Don Wood on Trauma, Performance & DNA Healing, we dive deep into how unresolved trauma can create "glitches" in our system, leading to issues like depression, anxiety, addiction, and even physical pain.

In this episode, Strategic Rest in Leadership: Dr. Erin Wilson's Key to Thriving Teams, we also explore the crucial difference between conflict and opposition in team dynamics, and how understanding motivations (people, performance, or process?) can transform your communication and influence.
