Cultivating Brain-Friendly Organizations
Using Neuroscience to Enable Best Work
Markets, consumers, economies, technologies and climates are changing.
Quickly.
How might you lead customers and employees to embrace
shifting realities, and sustain curiosity and resourcefulness?
How can you minimize stress and use change itself as a catalyst for
learning and innovation?
We invite you to participate in a one-day exploration of how advances in neuroscience can optimize your working environment.
Why attend?
» You’ve never needed to know about neuroscience before. Why is it important now?
We’ll demonstrate the range of opportunity that new brain awareness can open: powerful insights into leadership, responsiveness and learning.
» We’ll demystify neuroscience by offering a simple and memorable framework for understanding key brain functions.
These distinctions are powerful enablers of inquiry, innovation, and change management.
» The workshop will be more than 50% experiential.
Participants will choose their most pressing issues for practice and leave with concrete applications.
Topics will include:
- Exploring how the use of information technology enables and hinders optimal brain function. Leveraging technology to enhance productivity, and minimizing the downsides of technology.
·
- Optimizing curiosity and learning as ongoing states.
·
- Introducing and managing change effectively. Understanding why change sometimes sticks and sometimes fails.
·
- Illuminating what constitutes stress, how it impacts the brain and our ability to get good work done. Understanding why we can’t just “power through” stress, and learning practices to minimize it.
We would be delighted to bring a half-day or full-day module to your organization.
