This is a comment by a corporate psychologist after interviewing a candidate:
Al abordar los estímulos del medio, considera en una primera instancia los elementos globales, tendiendo a organizar el entorno, para posteriormente, fijar su atención en los detalles más destacados.

How would you phrase this?
You don't "address environmental stimuli", do you?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

the subject of environmental stimuli
I think you can avoid the disproportionate "heaviness" of the verb phrase by changing the grammar. My interpretation is that "al abordar" does not contribute a great deal to the semantic content of your sentence and can therefore be minimized using a solution like this.
Also, this structure sets you up for easy translation of the rest of the sentence.

In responding to / In response to environmental stimuli
This would be an option but I agree with Muriel that there is no need for tortuous attempts at phrasing here.
