Enact Successful Change
Change can be difficult. Some people are resistant to organizational change whereas others jump in with both feet. Discover the neuroscience behind change resistance, change acceptance, and how you can use brain science to initiate meaningful change. A key component to successfully managing change and growth is reinforcement, and we’ll discuss ways to tap into your brain’s reinforcement network to make change happen, stay motivated, and engage in continuous growth.
Become a Power Thinker
Most of the time, our brains are running on autopilot. We don’t pay attention to our own ways of thinking. A brain on autopilot causes its owner to miss opportunities, fail to notice important things, stop growing, bypass insights, and fail at creative problem solving.
In this program, audience members will discover how to become “power thinkers”. That means thinking innovatively and making crucial connections that others miss, fully using their brains to their own and others’ advantages, and spotting opportunities far ahead of the crowd. In this competitive business environment, being a power thinker gives a critical advantage over the competitor.
Charge Your Social And Emotional Brain
Relationships are critical to any business’s success. However, our brains are untamed beasts that can and do sabotage working relationships. In this lively session, audiences will discover how to focus their brains on generating positively charged emotions and pleasant social interactions so that they get the most out of their business relationships.
Grow an Expert Brain
Have you ever wanted to get more out of your brain? When you hone your expert brain skills, you will be able to spend time on your business -- and not on basic cognitive tasks. Expert brains recognize and use thinking shortcuts; they identify patterns; and see the big picture without getting bogged down in the details.
Effectively using this mode of thinking actually requires less, not more, energy exertion in the brain. Best of all, it will free your brain to think about other, more important things. Your brain can be a well-oiled machine that works for you instead of against you.
