In today’s fast-paced environment, leaders often feel overwhelmed and uncertain about where to focus to create healthy, high-performing teams. Neuroscience suggests that, instead of trying to cram as many priorities as possible into a leadership framework, which will only lead to burnout and subpar performance, we are more successful when we focus on a few key areas. Research highlights three essential areas for effective leadership and healthy culture, and business management: cultivating a growth mindset, fostering psychological safety, and instilling ability. We call this triad the “Leadership GPA.” us for the first installment of our three-part webinar series with Dr. Emma Sarro, as she unpacks the foundational science behind building a growth mindset at scale within organizations. Backed by the cutting-edge research of the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI)—a global leader in applying neuroscience to leadership development—this session will explore why growth mindset is not just a buzzword, but a critical capability for today’s most effective leaders. Now more than ever, organizations must foster cultures that empower people to: ✅ Embrace change ✅ Learn from both mistakes and successes ✅ Ask for and receive with confidence Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how you can spark lasting behavioral change across your teams through the power of mindset.

As conversations about performance management ramp up, and companies wrestle with how to elevate performance through effective performance management approaches — we’re working to gather and share your insights. For the next three weeks, we’re going to ask you one question per week about your experience with performance management. The insights we derive will: - Be discussed during our webinars, including Your Brain at Work Live — we invite you to to participate in the discussion and explore the findings. - Result in a community informed pulse survey that will provide real time results. Here’s the 1st question: Given your organization’s current performance management approach, what’s working well? Why? ANSWER HERE: https://hubs.li/Q03mSByL0

To effectively manage others, we first need to manage ourselves. Typically, managing others involves a significant increase in the volume of information to process, the complexity of problems to solve, the intensity of emotions to manage, and an ongoing need to stay motivated. Without the right strategies in place, it’s easy to become overwhelmed, struggle with problem-solving, and lose your drive. Mary Slaughter for a conversation on the foundations of managing your own cognitive capacity and brain-based techniques for managing emotions more effectively. With these tools, you’ll stay in the optimal zone for peak decision-making amidst uncertainty. “Manage Myself – The Habits That Help You Calibrate” is the first webinar in a three-part series of leadership-focused events, where you’ll gain an understanding of how to: - Increase your ability to perform at your best - Enhance your team's performance - Drive results by strengthening ability

Comedian Ben Gleib offers approaches for making mundane work feel a little less stuffy through humor.

AI agents are continuously evolving in ways that increase their potential to our work. Not only can they synthesize long meetings and moments later provide you with key insights, ideas, and actions, they can also write your emails, plan an conversation, and make difficult decisions for you. However, does AI actually improve your ability to do these things, and is the output better than what a human could do alone? For example, even though you have the meeting notes, will you actually understand what was discussed and be able to make good decisions from the summary? Will it help you identify the right path forward and give you the motivation to take steps that might be challenging? Research shows that if we rely on AI too often or use it in the wrong ways, it could actually dull our thinking. Drs. David Rock and Emma Sarro as they discuss what “better” thinking means from the perspective of the brain and how AI can be used to get there. Learn the key behaviors that can turn AI from merely a tool into a collaborator.

Conventional wisdom suggests that if you want people to participate, you need to mandate it. However, this can easily backfire. What research suggests is that if you want people to participate and get the most out of this participation, you need to make it compelling. Getting people to fully engage in learning, transformation or even just to attend an important organizational event is a central challenge for HR or talent functions. During times of intense change, this can often appear to be less important, when in fact, it may be even more critical. If you’re looking to achieve something beyond just compliance, you need to design in a way that compels people to fully participate and engage – a challenge when most of us are busy and overwhelmed. In this timely conversation, Drs. David Rock and Emma Sarro will explore insights from both science and decades of practice, including the non-obvious downsides of making learning mandatory, and three areas to focus on when making experiences truly compelling.

Growth mindset, psychological safety, and ability must work together for effective leadership. https://hubs.li/Q03k9L8h0

Uncertainty surrounds the future of DEI. Many organizations plan to continue their DEI work, yet they’re likely to face a number of challenges along the way. To be successful as we evolve our work, it's important to understand why DEI efforts became a priority in the first place, and whether they’re important enough for organizations to address in other packaging. What are the short- and long-term impacts of rolling back the work?   Although DEI programs are sometimes politicized, limiting their effectiveness, there are several reasons why organizations need to address certain quirks of the human brain to achieve their best.     Drs. David Rock and Emma Sarro this Friday at 12pm ET, as they discuss the core brain processes that make DEI work indispensable. A focus for this discussion will be our cognitive biases — mental shortcuts we’ve evolved to make decisions quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, cognitive biases can also cause us to make poor decisions that negatively impact our employees and business. We’ll explore the major biases that affect our work and how to mitigate them to make better business decisions. #bias #neuroleadership #nli #leadership #cognitive #dei #webinar

In today’s organizational landscape, knowledge retention and skill development are more critical than ever—but not all learning sticks. However, learning anchored in the way the brain learns best, works. Mary Slaughter, Senior Advisor at the NeuroLeadership Institute, on April 30th at 10:00am ET for an engaging webinar where we explore how neuroscience is reshaping the way we learn. Rooted in neuroscience, this session will reveal how the brain naturally processes, stores, and recalls information—and how you can leverage this to create learning experiences that drive real, lasting change. Whether you're leading a team, deg training programs, or simply looking to boost your own learning effectiveness, this session is for you. What you’ll learn: - How to work with the brain’s learning and memory systems - Practical strategies to create brain-friendly learning environments - How leaders can a culture of continuous learning and curiosity Get ready to rethink learning through the lens of science—and walk away with tools you can use right away.
