On brain-savvy leadership

Do you or your client have a leader's brain? What does that even mean? And can we improve leadership skills? After some brain basics, we focus on the prefrontal ("executive") regions of the brain behind the forehead. Participants will get to profile their likely strength and usage with four particular regions. These regions link to personality models like DiSC and MBTI. Beyond that, we have capacity in all four -- often with a primary and a secondary executive -- and what is key is when and how well we use them together. Moreover, each our "executives" is more than cognitive. It effects emotions, attention, presence (physicality), and so forth. The presentation includes tips for working with the 4 executive styles.
