In previous episodes of our podcast, we've discussed the importance of designing learning experiences with the brain in mind to maximize learning effectiveness. In doing so, we've shared what the NeuroLeadership Institute's research indicates are the four active ingredient for effective long-term learning and retention: attention, generation, emotion, and spacing, all four of which come together to form the AGES model.This model can be applied effectively at the scale-focused strategic level, but also at each tactical touchpoint... and in this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Dr. Emma Sarro — our senor director of research — and Dr. David Rock draw on lessons learned from one of our favorite learning experiences — the NeuroLeadership Summit — to illuminate learning event tactics that ensure knowledge and behavior change makes an impact in the moment, sticks for the long-term, and ensures that the lessons instilled are easily recalled under pressure.

In the first of our three-part Learning Experience Fundamentals series, Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro explore what it takes to build learning experiences that drive knowledge retention, behavior adoption and business transformation at scale.

The preponderance of spurious factoids about the brain — and its impact on our everyday lives — might just prove that there's a major difference between information and insight. That misleading information can be costly, especially when those myths follow us into the workplace. That's why, on this episode of "Your Brain at Work", Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro connect to expore — and expose — common neuroscience myths... and then point us in the right direction.

Seemingly overnight, Artificial Intelligence has taken workplaces around the world by storm. But while there's tremendous excitement about the potential this rapidly evolving tool might unlock, there's also trepidation — and perhaps there should be. Even as we begin to integrate AI into our everyday routines, questions remain about the underlying biases that may influence technology and its adoption.In this special episode of Your Brain at Work, published to coincide with a presentation — delivered by Janet M. Stovall, our Global Head of DEI, and Matt Summers, our Global Head of Culture and Leadership — at the Society for Human Resource Management's Talent Conference and Expo... they examine the emergence of AI through the lens of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — this time focusing on breaking bias.***Learn more about our groundbreaking new leadership development program — LEAD: The Neuroscience of Effective Management — here: https://neuroleadership.com/LEADKeep up-to-date on the latest NLI content at our blog: https://neuroleadership.com/your-brain-at-work/Join us for upcoming events: https://neuroleadership.com/our-events/Host a NeuroLeadership Event in your city: https://hub.neuroleadership.com/events/na-host-a-nli-event-2024Explore our solutions: https://neuroleadership.com/solutions-for-organizations/

It’s easy enough to read biographies of leaders past, some of whom are considered exceptional for this or that extraordinary reason. Surely, leaders of old have been studied and judged for the times in which they lived and the business landscape in which they operated. But today’s leaders need more skills than ever before. They need to know the science of:How to create an environment where everyone speaks up, challenges each other, and gets to the best answers—faster than ever.How to help teams move quickly through difficult decisions and make sure things really happen. How to recognize bias, and neutralize it so that teams can keep operating at optimal levels.Join Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro in the final episode of our Leadership Essentials series.***Learn more about our groundbreaking new leadership development program — LEAD: The Neuroscience of Effective Management — here: https://neuroleadership.com/LEADKeep up-to-date on the latest NLI content at our blog: https://neuroleadership.com/your-brain-at-work/Join us for upcoming events: https://neuroleadership.com/our-events/Host a NeuroLeadership Event in your city: https://hub.neuroleadership.com/events/na-host-a-nli-event-2024Explore our solutions: https://neuroleadership.com/solutions-for-organizations/

Hot on the heels of his recent publication on leadership trends in Fast Company, Dr. David Rock welcomes our global head of research, Dr. Emma Sarro to Your Brain at Work Live to discuss the quiet signals unfolding on the leadership landscape — and key trends to watch and influence as the year unfolds. Listen closely to dig into: The emergent qualities of a new kind of leader What re-imagined leadership development looks like Where DEI stands in the leadership landscape Re-thinking performance development in 2024

Over the last several months, there's been a great deal of talk about the use cases for artificial intelligence. Millions around the world are excited about the creative potential, labor, and time savings that AI might unlock. But AI's use cases don't end there. In this episode of Your Brain At Work, our co-founder, Dr. David Rock connects with Dr. Teodor Grantcharov (Professor of Surgery at Stanford University and Associate Chief Quality Officer for Innovation and Safety at Stanford Healthcare) to explore a fascinating new use case for AI: saving lives in the operating room. Listen on for a fascinating exploration of how we might use AI to augment, rather than supplant, our humanity.

In the three years since flexible work has transformed from emergency mode to a mainstream way of working, it’s encountered no shortage of unique challenges and opportunities along the way. Among those challenges? Intentionally building and maintaining workplace culture — shared everyday habits — in a setting so often mediated by digital distance. Research indicates that a sense of connectedness (something many employees say they aren't getting) is one of the primary levers for employee engagement and retention. It’s what has some leaders believing that returning to office will alleviate the "connection crisis". Yet, a staggering number of employees say they'll exit if forced back into the office. On this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, we'll welcome Khalil Smith (Akamai Technologies) and Dr. David Rock to explore this complicated conflict — and point to evidence-based practices for closing the connection gap without forcing a return to office.

What are the connections between cognitive capacity, motivation, threat, and reward? How do organizations that prioritize psychological safety differ — in terms of business performance — from those that don't? What cognitive levers should organizations think about when executing change initiatives in order to manage threat, motivate their teams and drive positive business outcomes? On this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Dr. Emma Sarro and Dr. Ryan Curl provide answers to these questions and more — sharing key findings from our latest NeuroLeadership Journal, "Managing Threat Response in the Workplace".

On the season 10 premiere of Your Brain at Work Live, we'll dig deep into the trends, breakthroughs and scientific insights uncovered at the 2023 NeuroLeadership Summit. Facilitated by our Director of Leadership, John Edwards, and featuring leaders from all three of our practice areas, we'll share what we learned about: • Augmented intelligence • The future of DEI and what it will take to get there • The evolution of talent and performance management • Integrated approaches leaders can take to embed upskilling, re-skilling, and super-adaptivity in their company culture strategy
