Change is a journey, not an event. Why do 50–70% of change initiatives fail? Typical approaches to managing change don’t take our human biology into account—that we’re wired to resist change. Recent discoveries in neuroscience illuminate how we learn, respond to change, develop new behaviors, and become more adaptable. Leave this interactive session with several new strategies for driving successful change in your organization whether you are an executive, manager, or employee.

Humans are wired for purpose and, in fact, recent discoveries in neuroscience offer a fascinating look into what motivates us to become our best selves. The ability to align purpose is what distinguishes the most effective leaders from the rest, and purpose is at the heart of engagement, productivity, and retention. It’s no wonder that organizations that harness the power of purpose thrive and excel while their peers falter or fail. Discover how to leverage the brain science of purpose to create meaningful work and ongoing success.

Teams power more and more of today’s work. Nearly 90% of today’s workers say that they spend 1/3 to 1/2 of each day working in teams. It is no surprise that teams can make or break any organization’s competitive advantage. Discover the surprising truth about what creates or crushes high-performing teams. We’ll explore the brain science of working in groups and what makes collaboration different from other types of teamwork. Gain key strategies in building trust, inclusion, belonging and psychological safety that you can use to create team excellence again and again.

Innovation is often the big differentiator between organizations that succeed and those that stall or even fail. But while innovation is important, most organizations struggle with creating the right environment to support and encourage it. Explore the research on the neuroscience of innovation and creativity (they’re different) and what sets up the human brain to achieve the highest states of both. You’ll gain strategies you can use today to create both a climate and culture of innovation.

Around the world, people are experiencing record levels of burnout and the results are impacting both our workplaces and communities. Burnout is the #1 reason employees are citing as they quit in record numbers. In this session, we will look at what burnout is and the unique set of factors that have led us to this point. We’ll explore how relationships are currently strained and why we need to be particularly mindful now more than ever. Learn strategies you can implement right away to help yourself and others move through burnout to start thriving.

Did you know that emotional intelligence (EQ) is twice as predictive of performance than IQ? EQ accounts for 80-90% of competencies that differentiate top performers and 75% of careers are derailed for reasons related to emotional competencies. Discover the neuroscience behind EQ and techniques for managing amygdala hijacks and triggers. Learn how to better read emotions in others and strategies for navigating difficult situations, and building positive relationships at work and at home.

Neuroscience reveals that power changes the brain in surprising ways. Executive training counterbalances this tendency and gives leaders the critical skills leaders need to solve complex challenges. Senior executives have a direct impact on your organization’s culture and success. The right leader can catapult the organization forward while a mismatch can drive employee attrition and market decline. Discover and apply new techniques to build a science-based program that your executives will attend, value, and use to drive positive organizational results.

The neuroscience of learning has recently evolved, adding new understanding to how the brain learns, builds memories, processes failure, and shifts behavior. This research is shaping how educators should design learning and how it’s experienced by learners. And technology has transformed what’s possible in learning…IF it’s used correctly. Discover how to leverage brain science to enhance instructional design and delivery in both education and workplace settings. You will gain strategies you can implement today to improve the growth and development of yourself and others.

Engaging learning is born from the intersection of three activities done well—the three Ds of discovery, design, and delivery. Great learning begins with your discovery process and how you identify the real issues that need to be addressed. As you design, you’ll want to harness the power of aha moments and storytelling to create memorable content. Learning ultimately must drive sustained behavior change to create valued ROI, so you’ll learn how to effectively design habits and utilize practice. You’ll walk away with strategies you can use to consistently create phenomenal results.

Several studies show that organizations grow and change in predictable ways, moving through phases of development, transformational crisis points, and emerging levels of consciousness. Each shift requires new skills for your leaders and employees, and also predicts relationships with your customers. A significant contributor to organizational decline is that key aspects of strategy are often behind the stage of growth the organization is in or moving toward. Learn how to crack the code and stay ahead of the curve.

Discover why the right culture of learning is critical to your organization’s ongoing success. You’ll learn about the neuroscience of potential and how to unlock people’s natural hunger to learn and improve. Harness the power of growth mindset to create all kinds of benefi ts including increased performance, productivity, engagement, and retention. Use the ground-breaking Growth Culture® model to design a robust and positive culture of learning that enables continuous improvement. Learn how to effectively align efforts across your organization to drive maximum impact.

The brain is wired for observational learning and video creates powerful and scalable solutions. Discover how video-based practice and assessment enable experiential learning, skill validation, and coaching at scale. Explore the ways in which video content creates opportunities for practice, demonstration, analysis, and collaboration, and provides learners with tangible outcomes. Enhance critical skills for upskilling employees while receiving a positive return on investment. You’ll learn how to create better knowledge retention as well as sustained behavior change through a variety of new tools and strategies.

To be effective, talent professionals must stay on top of current issues and critical trends in order to anticipate the impact they might have on their organization and industry. Discover critical trends that will shape talent development for years to come. We’ll discuss ways to get ahead of these trends to future-ready your people and organization. This session will also explore tools and best practices to enhance learning in all of its forms to boost performance and confidence.
