MAKE YOUR TEAM SMARTER OVERNIGHT

The Neuroscience of Compelling Leadership

How would your business grow if you could become smarter overnight?

What would the impact be if you could tap into more parts of your brain to increase innovation, creativity, emotional engagement, vision, feelings of safety, belonging, and mattering?

And what would the impact be if you could guide your entire company to this state too?

Today’s leaders need to be more connected to a deeper ability to communicate & influence others to cause higher levels of accountability and productivity on their teams.

You will explore a model of leadership that takes into account both the dynamics of teams and the individual leader in a company. Through interactive exercises each participant will be able to actually experience a shift in their relationship to knowing where leadership is “out”, and how to put it back “in” in a new way. The presentation will offer a cutting edge toolkit for leadership problem diagnosis and resolution, and human performance optimization.
