Neuroscience for Beginners A guide to how your brain works Hannah Critchlow

Join us as we explore the minds of managers and leaders using neuroscience to unravel the thinking behind our decision-making and behaviour to help us get the most out of ourselves and others. How do our perceptions of the world affect our decisionmaking? How does fear and stress affect our behaviour? What can we do to refine our focus and attention? How can we make the very most of the brains we are born with?

Richard Hytner will share his five secrets to turn remote to your managerial advantage.

The Making of a Leader Unblock, unlock and unleash your impact Scott Morrison

This is where you need to ‘Lead with Boom!’ – a clear set of behaviours indelibly linked to the simple philosophy of Unblock, Unlock, Unleash. A way of leading that creates Positive Disruption.

A way of leading that delivers impact. A way of leading through the 21st Century.

He has worked with, in or on the Board at some of the world’s leading brands including Levi’s, Nike, Diesel and Saatchi & Saatchi.
