The latest neuroscience shows that the brain drives all thinking, behaviour, and performance. For leaders, that means understanding how the brain responds under pressure, through change, and in day-to-day workplace interactions is no longer optional. It is a critical capability for building high-performing, collaborative, and adaptable teams.

Hosted by Loretta Mitchell, Director of Neu Perspectives, this session will explore how leaders can apply neuroscience-backed strategies to create the conditions for stronger performance, better collaboration, and more effective responses to change.

Key session takeaways:
• How negative brain states can reduce employee mental capacity by 50–75%
• The three key conditions the brain needs to collaborate effectively with others
• How to move teams from resistance mode to adaptability mode during change
• Practical, evidence-based strategies leaders can apply to improve engagement, productivity, and behavioural change
