SCOPE Your Stress
SCOPE Your Stress
In February EMI presented a full-day workshop on personal and leadership resilience.
Part of the workshop used the SCOPE tool developed by Somatic Experiencing®️ International to support professionals in any kind of crisis response. But it works for everyone!
As part of the workshop design, we asked participants to read this article, and then they helped teach it! We had a wonderful and candid conversation that included personal examples about how each of these five "stress interventions" in the mnemonic help regulate our nervous systems and build our resilience.
We spent most of the time talking about P, pendulate, because it's the least familiar to most people. While it's most common to try to push away or ignore our stress responses, we really enjoyed the process of discovery as we talked about different ways to try something different: touching in and out of the stress and tension to build awareness and capacity.
Give it a read and reach out to let us know what you think and how you use each of these approaches. Do you have a go-to favorite? Have you ever tried using them in this order when you are feeling the pressure? Would you like to learn more?
Erin (Pink) Mosley has advanced-level training in Somatic Experiencing and brings these skills into her consulting and coaching to help her clients lead with more ease and joy.

You don't *have* to wait for the crisis.
Most new members in the Mosley Institute join because there is an immediate need... a big career move, interpersonal or organizational difficulties, burnout, that kind of thing.
I'm delighted to help through those professional and personal chapters, and equally delighted if or when those members reduce or close out their memberships to integrate the changes they've made or try something new.
But also! Some members keep a membership going because they like to have a steady sounding board as they go about whatever tough and important work they are doing in the world.
It's like having an executive coach "on-call" -- right there to set up a video call or send a personal email response.
Some members have enjoyed having me as a trusted advisor for 5 years or more!
Now is a terrific time to invest in some professional coaching to build new habits and skills. Mosley Institute scheduling is flexible to fit into this busy season.
And if you'd like your employer to pay for the membership (some do), you can get the approval in ahead of end-of-year budget crunches!
Please don't hesitate to request a complimentary coaching call if you are curious whether it would be a good move for you.
It's fast and simple to sign up directly, give as a gift, or to arrange a group enrollment.

* New Orleans was known for thousands of years as Bulbancha (Choctaw for "place of many tongues") and was an indigenous trading hub. Erin Mosley, Inc. calls this place home now - and we continue to learn more about all the peoples, cultures, and events that have happened here.
Lagniappe is said to be a modified form of a Louisiana French creole or cajun term that derives from the New-World Spanish la ñapa (gift), which in turn may have its origin in a Quechua word yapa (gift or tip).
Here on this page, we share a little extra news, curiosities, ephemeral tidbits, and passing fancies. In the spirit of giving you a lagniappe when you visit us.
