The Upward Spiral™: Using neuroscience to reverse the course of depression
Depression and anxiety have a big impact on productivity and motivation. Unfortunately, while the signs of these conditions aren’t always obvious, they are extremely common — even among highly successful people. In fact, the same brain circuits that make someone creative, driven, and productive, are often the same circuits that put them at risk for depression and anxiety. Fortunately The Upward Spiral™ can help your organization reduce stigma and better deal with these common mental health challenges. Simply by making small changes in your thoughts, actions, interactions, and environment it’s possible to change the activity and chemistry of key brain circuits that contribute to depression and anxiety.
The Upward Spiral™ for Peak Performance
The Upward Spiral™ approach focuses on how brain biology combined with your actions, interactions, thoughts and environment, can get in the way of peak performance. But by making small life changes it’s possible to optimize your brain for greater wellbeing and productivity. This talk not only explains the neuroscience of peak performance, but also describes specific actionable steps to provide a boost to both individuals and teams.
Neurothentic Leadership™ for Stronger, Happier Teams
Strong teams are created by strong leaders who understand and appreciate their own strengths and limitations, as well as those of their team. Neurothentic Leadership™ means understanding how your brain works in order to authentically inspire and motivate the people around you. This talk will help your employees recognize the key aspects of their own brain biology that they can change, and what they can’t. It will also provide insights into what they can do to change the brain’s of the people around them, as well as the limitations. Understanding what you can change about the brain and learning the steps to make it happen leads to more authentic and effective leadership, and stronger, happier teams.
