Work Wonders! Wellness * Mindset * Balance * Happiness
Brain-Based Do’s & Don’ts for New Work Realities +

The end of the pandemic is ushering in new possibilities, problems, and work realities - for workers and employers alike. Many employers still offer flex-schedules and work-from-home options while others attempt to mandate a return to the office, all with varying degrees of success and productivity.

Research shows workers are simultaneously ‘zoomed out’ yet hesitant to return to the office - WFH has become the new (and comfortable) norm. Mental health indicators have taken a nosedive as a result of worker social isolation, VUCA circumstances, and now the ask of further change: a return to office spaces. So ‘the great resignation’ continues.

In this talk, Dr. Brynn relays the brainscience behind why returning to offices, meeting with colleagues, and having face-to-face time again is so valuable for people, productivity, motivation, mental health, and happiness. In the brain’s reward centers, flex schedules are good while human interaction is great.

Presented in the form of ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ from applied neuroscience, audiences learn the micro-habits, tips, tricks, tools, and techniques they need to know for how to optimize their thinking, managing, technology-usage, emotions, time, energy, brain power, balance, productivity, and motivation in new work contexts, in new work realities.

Neuroselling: Infliuence * Persuasion
The Brainscience of Persuasion & Influence +

Successfully getting people to believe in you, buy into your ideas, or buy your goods, products, services (‘the 3B’s’), means getting others’ subconscious brain on-side.

‘Neuroselling’ covers frontier insights from brainscience on how others perceive you and process the information you present, during a conversation or pitch. Surprising facts? Others aren't using the conscious, logical, rational, language-centers of their brains as we assume they are: instead the brain prefers to work on subconscious, social, emotional, interpersonal, and image-based impulses to make all of its decisions.

Dispelling some of the common myths and exciting audiences with new and neat brain facts, Dr. Brynn ‘unravels the brain like an onion’ to reveal her ‘6 brainscience secrets’ for increasing your influence and persuasiveness by getting to the core of human decision-making.

Neuroleadership: Leadership Presence * Interpersonal Influence
The Science of Self-Presentation, Establishing Influence & Leadership Presence +

Good leaders are skilled at attracting and energizing followership by virtue of their interpersonal influence, persuasiveness, energy, and interpersonal intelligence. Developing yourself as an effective leader in this vain requires a solid grasp of human psychology, emotional intelligence, as well as the neural and cognitive factors that really engage, mobilize, and energize people.

In this talk we look at the ‘science of influential self-presentation’ so leaders can gain a better understanding of how to develop themselves and their executive presence to galvanize those from whom they need to draw followership and non-coerced compliance. We take the principles of ‘neuroselling’ and the brainscience behind influence and persuasion, and apply them to the interpersonal realm so that leaders may be more effective at developing their followership, influence, and persuasiveness with others.
