Special offer — YLAI Seattle 2026

From Reaction to Direction

A 3-hour live workshop that turns your most challenging emotions into your sharpest leadership tool — so you can stop making decisions on autopilot and start leading with real clarity.

The real problem

You already know what you should do. Something keeps getting in the way.

You’ve read the books. You know the frameworks. And still in the moments that matter most, something takes over. A fear that shuts you down. A frustration that makes you say the wrong thing. An anxiety that blurs your thinking right when you need it most.

That something is not weakness. It’s an emotion running on autopilot. And until you learn to work with it, it will keep making decisions for you.

You react fast and regret it later

You know something is holding you back, but can’t name it

Pressure makes your thinking cloudy, not sharp

Big decisions feel heavier than they should

You lead others but struggle to lead yourself in hard moments

What you get

Everything you need to go from knowing to actually changing.

3-hour live Emotional Toolkit workshop

This is not a lecture. You’ll identify the emotion that’s been running you, understand exactly how it hijacks your decisions, and build a personal system to work with it — not against it. You leave with a completed Toolkit.

10-resource emotional toolkit pack

Guides, exercises, and audio tools grounded in real therapeutic practice. Designed to keep working for you every day — in meetings, hard conversations, and high-stakes decisions.

30-min private session with a specialist

A 1:1 conversation with our therapeutic match expert to understand where you are, what’s actually getting in your way, and what kind of support would move the needle for you. No pitch. Just clarity.

What you will learn

The knowledge behind the practice.

The autopilot loop

How emotional patterns get wired into your behavior — and the exact moment you can interrupt them before they run the show.

Emotion vs. reaction vs. response

The difference between what you feel, what you do automatically, and what you could choose to do instead — and how to close that gap.

Decision-making under pressure

Why your worst decisions happen in your most emotionally activated states — and a simple protocol to pause, regulate, and act from clarity.

Emotions and your team

Your unregulated emotions don’t stay with you. Research shows they spread to your team within 30 seconds of interaction. Learn to lead the room, not just yourself.

What changes

After this workshop, you will:

Name what’s running you — and stop being surprised by it

Have a personal system to pause, process, and act with intention

Recognize the autopilot patterns that cost you decisions and relationships

Make strategic decisions from clarity — not from fear, urgency, or habit

Leave with a real tool you’ll use, not a workbook that collects dust

About the facilitator

Built from the inside out — by someone who has lived both worlds.

I’m Vanessa Riveros, clinical psychologist and founder of CreSentia.

I believe that growth happened because of one specific combination: psychological depth and entrepreneurial thinking working together. This workshop is the product of that intersection not theory from a textbook, but tools built in the field, tested with real people navigating real pressure.

The 30-minute private session gives you direct access to that experience, applied to your specific situation.

FAQ

When is the 3-hour workshop?

The workshop takes place in June. You’ll receive all the details directly to your email once you complete your purchase.

What if I can't make the live date?

No problem — you’ll get access to the full recording so you can go through the experience at your own pace, whenever works best for you.

Is the private session really 1:1?

Yes. A real 30-minute conversation with a specialist, just you. It’s the most personal part of this whole experience.

I already did the workshop at YLAI. Is this the same thing?

No. The YLAI session was the introduction — 50 minutes to show you the map. This is the full 3-hour journey where you build your Toolkit in depth, work through your specific situation, and leave with a system that’s truly yours.
