Through a deeper understanding of how our minds operate, this session will help you identify ways in which you can harness neuroscience to enhance your own resilience and creative potential - and that of others.

Learning Outcomes: 
1) Understand the ways in which our evolutionary past influences our thought processes and mechanisms - at work and beyond
2) Unlock resilience strategies for navigating an increasingly complex world
3) Link key leadership behaviours to the enhancement of trust, resilience, and creativity in others
