Recent discoveries in the neurocognitive sciences have created insights into how leaders function and how they can operate with more consciousness, awareness and inclusion. This session will provide a primer for understanding some of these breakthrough findings and will engage you in an experience which not only will help you understand that “we don't think the way we think we think,” but also look at ways that we can bring more mindfulness to the various aspects of leadership. You will especially be impacted by the way these breakthrough insights create new strategies and approaches to managing talent and other HR related functions. This session will help you:

  • Gain an awareness of how findings in neurocognitive research give new insights into how we think, make decisions, and interact with others.
  • Discover how to apply those findings to workforce planning, HRD and employee relations.
  • Understand the impact of our thinking on creativity and collaboration.
  • Be exposed to ways that organizational systems and structures can be redesigned to be more conscious, humane and inclusive.
