Your Brain in Business: Our Brains are not Built for Knowledge work, so what do you do about it?

Your Brain in Business: Our Brains are not Built for Knowledge work, so what do you do about it?
April 18, 2023

Our brains have not evolved to match the needs of white collar business environments. In many cases the natural reaction your brains have to issues in business go completely counter to what you should/need to do. Aside from this, no one trains or teaches this subject. We brush it under the rug and just assume we will adapt or worse yet, assume it really isn’t a problem.

The reality is the problem is epidemic and shows up in the staggering increases in stress related illness and death and the exceedingly high level of disengaged workers. It is staggering to see the number of business professionals who don’t even know what self-talk is and the dangers it produces if left unchecked.

This web seminar will address the very heart of brain dysfunction when tied to business interaction. The areas that will be covered including:

-The physiology of emotional intelligence

-Affective forecasting and its impact on decision making

-Cognitive bias and the impact on day to day business interactions

-Neuroplasticity and change management. How hard it is to change

-Your lazy brain, how stereotypes and decision patterns are developed

-Self-talk and stress

Within all these topics we will discuss techniques you can use to help you work around the innate limitations your brain causes. If we let our brains act instinctually against the business challenges face each day we limited our productivity and career growth.
