Even though researchers will agree that they’ve made important discoveries over the past fifteen years, much about the brain still remains a mystery. What we do know is very interesting because it gives us a peak into the connection between our wiring and our performance. This awareness gives us clues about how to become better leaders for our teams, our organizations and ourselves.
What part of this new information is most relevant to the workplace? And, how can we practically apply these new discoveries to impact talent engagement and the bottom line? To answer these questions and more, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind change and how brain-friendly concepts are currently being applied in several organizations.

1. Explore the behavioral neuroscience behind change;
2. Examine the relationship between thoughts, actions and perceptions of others;
3. Learn how brain-friendly practices can be applied in the workplace;
