Today we share the 3rd in our collaborative series of Podcasts ‘Looking at People’, between myself and Niamh.
Podcast 1 introduced SCARF, a brain-based model developed by David Rock over 10 years ago. The SCARF model is a useful pragmatic leadership resource for enhancing relationship building, influencing, decision making and retention.
In Podcast 2 we delved into the Status social domain of SCARF.
In our 3rd Podcast, we talk about the SCARF domain of Certainty, which is having a significant impact in our worlds right now, and in our conversation we:
- Give our insights to what does Certainty mean, and how this `need’ can be under reward or threat; Reward has a tendency to increase dopamine levels, whereas a Threat response triggers an increase in releasing the `stress’ hormone cortisol.
- Explain how certain situations and environments can trigger the Certainty threat or reward response, and the impact this has on ourselves and others.
- Share our insights & tips for influencing the `dialing up’ reward for Certainty.
- Leave you with a few questions to reflect on, to explore Certainty and opportunities to create action, and potentially an increase in the Reward response.
We hope this helps your reflections and planning as we move forward, do share your insights with us.
Warm wishes
Karen
