In a difficult meeting, a tense classroom, a conversation that matters — the rational mind steps back and something older, faster, less helpful takes charge. This isn't a character flaw. It's biology.
I'm Gabriel Mazur. I learnt to work with this in one of the least forgiving classrooms available: high-altitude expeditions. Now I bring the same tools to people navigating a world that doesn't stop being demanding.
Anger, fear, contempt — they arrive before the decision. We can work with the trigger before it fires. Train the moment between impulse and action.
Together we map the interior assumptions that run on autopilot — in how we lead, teach, and relate — and show how to interrupt them.
You're in the room but not quite there. Attention training — the same used in 3-year contemplative retreats — builds it back. Not through positivity and affirmations. Through practice.
"The session completely changed how I handle conflict with my team. I finally have a gap between the trigger and my reaction."
