The Neuroscience of Leadership

Do you know what every human being craves at a primal and neurological level—and how to give it to them? Maslow was right. As you probably know, once we have food and shelter, but before we can seek self-actualization—the Smart State—we must feel safety, belonging and mattering. Without these three essential keys a person cannot get in their Smart State—they cannot perform, innovate, feel emotionally engaged, agree, move forward.

Emotional Agility is the key to navigating turbulent times as well as change and growth scenarios. Explore your emotionally agility as a leader and how you can lead with vision instead of fear - fear pushes, vision pulls.

Christine explains the different parts of the brain and how they work together - and how we can use this knowledge to help ourselves and our teams use ALL parts of the brain at once (also known as the Smart State). The more people we have in their Smart State, the more we have what's called a Smart Tribe - everyone working optimally together for greater engagement, greater revenue, greater success.

Christine highlights the importance of trust and how to raise our awareness in our organizations. By creating a environment of trust, we will shift our tribe to enthusiasm and innovation. Explore how releasing resistance can increase our emotional agility and increase our productivity, and discover how one brain-based tool empowers you to quickly shift out of resistance so that you can focus on what moves the needle.
