The Economy of the Neuroleader

The world is experiencing an economic, social and business transformation that requires the development of skills that support people's leadership capability in the current environment.

Positional power is being replaced by the capacity to inspire, and the ability to create emotional connections with people from different teams, cultures and generations. It is time to re-think leadership and to include the brain in this equation. The leaders of the future will be comfortable in exploring how to optimise brain performance, use intuition to make organisations more agile and the power of imagination to advance innovation. Are the leaders of your organisation prepared for the future?

The Science of Engagement & Motivation

Have you ever wondered what engages people at work? Explored and shared with your boss what engages you?

Engagement is an active process and starts within yourself. This keynote is a fascinating exploration of human motivation combined with the latest theories on employee engagement and a myriad of practical tools that you can apply back in the workplace.

Explore ideas to create a favourable work environment and learn the meaning of true collaboration to build trust and high performance.

Female Neuroleadership

Forty years ago, in America alone, women owned just 5 percent of businesses. Today, women own 30 percent, a total of 7.8 million companies generating $1.2 trillion a year in sales. Is your organisation leveraging from the power of female leadership?

In the minds of many men and women, the doubt about women's ability to lead still prevails. Researchers are now starting to investigate whether the skills of effective male leaders are also present in females, and what is different from a biological perspective. All these questions need to be raised and debated, so that there is a better understanding between people, and also to overcome the obstacles present in society in general, and a the organisational level in particular.
