Neuroscience: The Science Behind Effective Employee Engagement & Change: Virtual Learning - Fully booked!

Details

Neuroscience is revealing how behaviour originates in the brain.  This knowledge gives communication and engagement practitioners a deeper and clearer understanding of how to support teams, drive engagement and enable effective change. 

The learning from our colleagues in the science community is shining a light on how behaviour and mindset matters, how the right environments create the best ideas and how language, consistency and emotion all play a leading role.  As communication practitioners, we now have the evidence to support what we have always instinctively understood.

This virtual masterclass is delivered over two half day sessions which run on consecutive weeks with the opportunity for practical application, feedback and reflection.  It is designed to introduce communication practitioners to the principles of neuroscience explaining how the brain operates and what helps and hinders successful engagement during change. 

Delegates also have the option to attend a follow-up session to further their knowledge, Communication that Speaks to Emotion. 

Learning objectives

At the end of the course, participants will:

• Develop an understanding of how the brain operates and the implications for effective engagement during change
• Develop language and communication skills designed to promote a shift in mindset from fixed to growth.

The course will cover

• The human element of business and the skills required for modern day business
• The role of energy, relationship and trust as performance drivers
• Organising principles of the brain and our key thinking systems
• The role of trust and psychological safety within an organisation and the correlation with performance
• The human reality of change

Feedback

“A complex subject presented in an easy to understand way with concrete examples to bring it to life.”

“The subject matter is complex but the course sticks to the core principles of neuroscience where it is relevant to us as professional communicators.”

“Lots of tips and ideas alongside case studies and shared experiences that I can learn from and reflect on in my role. I’ve really enjoyed it, thank you!”

“Good content and examples explained in an easy to understand way. This session was hugely relevant and will definitely help me in my role - highly recommended!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the course – the presenter kept us engaged throughout the day. While I had heard some of the science before it was good to consolidate it with a particular focus on what that means for us as communicators.”
