| A sampling of Brain-Friendly Work Practices
was introduced at American Express. 75% of all participants
reported immediate improvements in concentration and 70% said
they could focus better. 50% experienced spontaneous improvements
in reading skills, and 25% reported that their public speaking
skills had automatically improved. They also described the seminar
as "informative," "intereresting," "practical,"
"fun," "energetic," "relaxing,"
"delightful," "educational," "unique." |
BRAIN UPGRADETM for Managing Change and Creating a New Future 
Dramatic changes like losing a job or being transferred call for new behaviors. Often, however, people find themselves stuck in old ways and are unable to adapt. This is because sudden changes activate the brain’s survival centers, which, in turn block the part of the brain where rational thinking and new learning take place. Brain Upgrade uses physical techniques that disengage the survival reflexes. This approach immediately restores the ability to adapt and make new choices and generates enthusiasm for new opportunities.
Top-10 BRAIN UPGRADE Skills for Managers
Participants
will learn to understand and correct common job performance problems
using the brain structure/function model. Highlights
include: • Why highly intelligent and
motivated people may lack the abilities to focus, prioritize, and
carry out intentions, and what can be done to help them. •Techniques
for educating the central nervous system to deal with specific challenges,
such as staying motivated when the chips are down or handling stressful
situations.
Upgrading Emotional Intelligence
This highly innovative seminar combines our contemporary
left-brain/right-brain model with the ancient Chinese system of Five
Elements. Participants will experience practical exercises that create
better communication between their rational and emotional brain centers.
Equipped with these exercises, participants will have permanent tools
to continue developing emotional intelligence on their own. Topics
include:
- Who is really in charge of our brains.
- What emotions are really saying.
- How to effectively handle emotions.
- Why there are no "negative" emotions.
- How to make room for emotions in the workplace.
- Effective alternatives to "self-control,"
and more.
Brain Styles, Communication, and Team Building
How
are left-brain people different from right-brain people? What are
their different work styles? Communication styles? Problem-solving
styles? Can they learn to get along? Participants
will learn to solve many communication problems by recognizing and
understanding the strengths, weaknesses, and special needs of both
their own brain styles and those of their co-workers. Plus
they will expand their abilities by switching on both brain hemispheres
so that:
- detail-oriented individuals will see more of
the big picture
- individuals who have problems with planning
or meeting deadlines will become more organized
- individuals who have difficulty controlling
their emotions will become more rational
- and overly cerebral individuals will become
more empathetic.
Uses role-playing, improvisation, and special brain-activating physical
activities. Taught by Paula Oleska and communication coach/theatre
director, Linda Grinde.
