Rebuild:LA

Erica Peng has worked with over 1500 business leaders, social entrepreneurs, and change agents as a faculty lecturer at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and an executive coach. She helps leaders and teams understand – and interrupt – how our automatic and unconscious fight-flight-freeze reactions like defensiveness, resistance, blame, criticism, withdrawal, etc. can undermine leadership, communication, morale, and team results, especially in destabilizing conditions of crisis and uncertainty. Drawing on her personal experience organizing neighbors to be more prepared amidst on-going wildfire threats, Erica is partnering with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to apply neuroscience and behavioral psychology to efforts focused on reducing wildfire risks, as well as recovering from the trauma of wildfires and other disasters.
