Hosted by the Well-Being and Resiliency Community
Neuroscience (or brain science) can be applied to coach leaders into more productive behaviors. This session focuses on strategies to identify key anatomical parts and functions of the brain that play a significant role in how we function and organize (pre-frontal cortex), manage stress and emotional regulation (amygdala), develop trust, connection, and empathy (mirror neurons), and analyze/synthesize conflicting information and manage cognitive dissonance (anterior cingulate cortex). When combined, and when adding appropriate coaching strategies, leaders can use understanding of these functions to accelerate and optimize their leadership development.
Objectives:
- Describe the neuroscience behind how we perceive and react/respond to others, regulate emotions, and manage conflict, and how these relate to leadership skills.
- Apply practical neuroscience-based coaching, stress management, and wellness strategies to situations commonly encountered by leaders.
- Develop one personal strategy in order to optimize personal and leadership development.
