This program will provide hands-on application of concepts and techniques deriving from brain research and psychology that can improve your individual leadership performance, as well as that of your team and organization.
Research in the cognitive sciences is leading us to a greater understanding of how to improve personal and leadership behaviors and performance. Those who grasp the meaning and implications of this research will be positioned to take competitive advantage. This program provides hands-on application of concepts and techniques deriving from neuroscience and psychology that can improve your individual performance, as well as that of your team and organization.
Neuroscience for Leadership focuses on:
- Your stuck neural patterns as a leader
- The power of neuroplasticity in unleashing your brain agility and resilience
- Creating the conditions for success in your organization by leading teams and shifting the culture from fear to trust
- Visioning the future using the power of storytelling
Issues we will examine include:
- How neuroscience can be applied to leadership development
- Understanding the scope of agility and diversity of thinking in adult brains
- Mindsets - can you move from fixed to growth?
- Deeply embedded leadership patterns and immunity to change
- Basic human emotions and mindfulness
- Cultural diversity and creativity
- Ecosystem leadership
Participants will be offered brain-friendly catering, guided meditation, optional yoga class, and a confidential brain profiler report.
Through lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice exercises, Neuroscience for Leadership will empower you to:
- Raise your awareness of existing leadership behavioral patterns
- Focus attention on behaviors and actions promoting resilience
- Harness neuroscience to embed sustainable behavior change through plasticity of brain connections and pathways through deliberate practice
- Implement measures to hold you to account and pre-empt barriers to leading sustainable performance
