Think – Interpret core brain functions and what impacts effective decision making. Regulate – Recognise the brain’s emotional triggers, response to stress and build resilience. Engage – Develop strategies to understand the brain’s emotional and engagement responses to build engaged teams. Adapt – Lead teams effectively through change by utilising the brain’s “neuroplasticity” while recognising the resistance to and capability to change. Develop – Develop the keys to the brain’s ability to learn and develop through a brain-based coaching technique and regular feedback strategies.

Conversation Notes - Neuroscience adds traction to personal and leadership development, as it is underpinned by science. - We need to be in a reward state to optimise performance, rather than a threat state. It’s about asking “how do I get my both my own and my teams brain operating?” - Great leadership is about not only creating a positive self, but also an environment for others. - When you have a busy brain, you’re less likely to have those reflective ‘aha’ moments. - Help others gain perspective during conversations: ask them what outcome do you want, what thinking are you doing, what decisions have you made, what are you feeling?
