Jo Britton, a Neuroleadership and Neurosculpting coach, shares her experience of helping clients to build their resilience. True resilience is more than just endurance. True resilience is about being adaptable and having the capacity to navigate change with grace and composure. Jo shares how she helps high achievers shift their unproductive mental and emotional patterns so they build a positive mindset that boosts their productivity and wellbeing. Jo shares practical tools that we can all implement immediately to enhance our resilience. Takeaways:The critical importance of resilience in navigating the complexities of high-pressure work environments, emphasizing the need for adaptability and emotional regulation amidst challenges. Practical tools and strategies that individuals can employ to enhance their resilience, such as physical movement and breath regulation techniques designed to stabilize emotional responses. Resilience is not merely about enduring stress but involves a dynamic process of adaptability and self-awareness, recognizing triggers that lead to dysregulation. Resilience can be cultivated through neuroplasticity, allowing individuals to rewire their responses to stress and develop more constructive behavioural patterns. By reflecting on our personal journey and the lessons learned from previous challenges, we can foster a mindset that embraces growth through adversity rather than defining ourselves by failures.

In der Podcast-Folge #120 von Klartext HR spricht Stefan Scheller mit Nicole Truchseß zum Thema „Emotionale Intelligenz lernen“. Emotionale Intelligenz ist ein gerne genutzter Begriff wenn es um Anforderungen an Führungskräfte geht. Das ist aber deutlich zu kurz gedacht. Denn emotionale Intelligenz ist eine zukunftsweisende Eigenschaft für alle Mitarbeitenden und Basis für Arbeitserfolg. Mit Nicole diskutiere ich unter anderem darüber, * was genau „Emotionale Intelligenz“ bedeutet. * welche Rolle diese Eigenschaft bei Führungskräften und darüber hinaus im Arbeitsalltag spielt. * ob Emotionale Intelligenz erlernbar ist oder nur steigerbar. * wie sie gemessen werden kann und wie man beim Trainieren vorgeht. * was HR tun kann, um diese Eigenschaft im Unternehmen stärker zu verankern. Ein spannender Talk als 15-Minuten-Impuls.
Klartext HR - Informieren. Inspirieren. Lernen.

He's a Certified Predictive Index partner, an author, and an international speaker. Bill's best-selling book, “Further, Faster: The Vital Few Steps That Take the Guesswork out of Growth” continues to have a five-star rating.    In this episode, Jordan and Bill discuss: Why businesses fail. The three key factors in business success Why performance is a team sport How to create an anti-fragile environment  Turning off your brain's auto-pilot  Key Takeaways Businesses fail because they make small mistakes in many areas creating a heavy burden on the leader and eventually sinking the business. There are only 2 constituencies you should care about- Your customers and your team vs. focusing on beating your competition.  Teams get most of the work done in the company. Leaders must attract the right people, put them in the right teams, find a way to grow them, and provide an exit strategy when necessary.  Neuroleadership focuses on creating a more brain-friendly organization by making sure interactions in the workplace don't put people's brains in a threatened state.   Most of our decisions are made automatically without thinking. It takes a lot of work, time, and effort, but it is possible and it is worth it to slow down your bad habits and create better ones to replace them.  “[On creating psychological safety] It starts with you, you have to say, I'm a human being”. And that starts with three things: “I don't know”, “I'm sorry”, and “I need help”. When you can do that. you're giving permission for your team to be human beings. That generally raises the level of the team, productivity, and engagement.” —  Bill Flynn   Connect with Bill Flynn:   Website: https://catalystgrowthadvisors.com/  Email: bill@catalystgrowthadvisors.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billflynnpublic/  Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1544507836/  Connect with Jordan:  For executives wanting a complimentary executive coaching conversation: jordan@jordangoldrich.com  Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/

Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. Like you, I'm interested in learning and applying the research, to our everyday life. For this week's Brain Fact Friday, I want to look at the Japanese term “Kaizen” that means “change for the better” or “continuous improvement” as we enter the last quarter of 2022. If you follow this podcast, we launched our year with a 6 PART study of the bestselling book, Think and Grow Rich, that ended with EPISODE #196[i] on “The Neuroscience Behind the 15 Success Principles of Napoleon Hill's Classic Book, Think and Grow Rich” ensuring that we all make 2022 our best year ever with this detailed study. I've been studying this book chapter by chapter, at the start of every year, since 2019, which doesn't seem like a long time, but if you go back to this book study, you'll see that it's quite intensive. The notes I share came from 2 of my mentors who have studied this book for their entire life. It took me to the beginning of February to properly cover these 15 success principles, with enough content in this series to continue to study this book, every year, for the rest of OUR lives, and we will still pick up something new. We will cover this on today's episode, but success with these principles doesn't happen immediately. But it will happen, with time, which is why I think it's crucial to revisit this book (and success principles) throughout the year, to be sure the concepts are being applied, not just in January, when we are starting our year, but every month of the year, right through to end of Q4. There are 6 STEPS in this book, that I've written on my wall, that when read aloud every day, causes an increase in the amplitude of our thinking, until eventually, our goals become so engrained in our mind, that they become on autosuggestion in our thoughts throughout our day. Napoleon Hill intended this book to be studied over and over again, not just once, but multiple times, for results to occur. We opened this 6 PART series at the start of the year with a quote from Undercover Billionaire Grant Cardone, who said, “In order to get to the next level of whatever we're doing, we must think and act in a wildly different way than we previously have been” and I know I've repeated this quote often throughout the year, (on various episodes) but I'm doing it on purpose, since making any sort of change takes time. It doesn't happen overnight, or immediately, or how our brain wants to see things unravel, because success is nonlinear[ii]. I heard this concept the other day, and it made me stop and think for a minute. When you hear “success in nonlinear” what do you think about? I thought about that image of the person riding their bike with their plan in mind, towards their goal, but in reality, there are many obstacles along the way.   We all will have our ups and downs, but what I'm hoping to show with this episode, is that our results will happen predictably, by taking certain actions, day in and day out, with our desired outcomes in our mind, that eventually become on autosuggestion, as we move towards our goals, overcoming the obstacles along the way. This will encourage all of us, that no matter what results we see today, in front of our eyes, that we must never give up, as you might just be giving up 3 feet before gold,[iii] (which is a concept from Chapter 1 of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book) that says “one of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.” (Napoleon Hill, Chapter 1, Think and Grow Rich). Which brings to my mind another image of this guy giving up as he was almost about to hit it big, discovering the diamonds underground, when another guy, (right above him in the image) who is determined to keep moving forward. When you hear “success is nonlinear” what comes to your mind? Stop and think about this for minute, because there is much more to this concept than meets the eye. When I'm looking at the images that come to my mind (the guy on a bike with the obstacles, or the guy digging for diamonds) these images are missing something important—they are missing the huge quantum leap in results that occur for those who don't give up. After digging a bit, (pun intended here) I found an article that explained what I was looking for from Thomas Waschenfelder and I've put his image in the show notes. IMAGE CREDIT: Success is Not Linear by Thomas Waschenfelder Waschenfelder's diagram “Success is Not Linear” shows two places where people often give up, right before their results were about to shoot up, exponentially. How Does This Apply to Us at This Point in the Year? What if we are in Q4 of 2022, and it's not panning out to be our best year ever? We listened to many different podcasts for new ideas, we took notes, and applied what we could, but life looks pretty much the same in October as it did in January. Most of us would be tempted to give up as we can't see the quantum leap (your end result) when you're looking forward. It will only be evident once we hit our goal, and it will be at that point that you'll be able to explain it to others. If you've attained your goals this year, that's awesome! You held your vision to the end, and now you can now share your strategy with others. But what if you haven't? I'm working on something over here, and I haven't achieved it yet, either, despite all the effort. And there were two specific times (just like in Waschenfelder's diagram) where things didn't go my way, where most people would throw in the towel. But when you look at “how success isn't linear” you can expect the obstacles to appear, and keep going, if you believe in the process. Do You Believe in the Process? I can say honestly that I wouldn't be spending the time to sit at my desk, thinking of how else we could all move the needle forward (myself included), and study the most successful people I know, looking for how science can help us to understand our lives a bit better, if I didn't believe in this process myself.  If you look at Thomas Waschenfelder's image that describes how most of us think that the more effort we put in (we listen to podcasts, gather ideas, but them into action) so success should follow. But this isn't exactly how it works. Waschenfelder describes the process reminding us that “the amount of work you put in does not correlate to the success you enjoy at any given moment.” Most people will give up when they don't see the immediate rewards, and this made me think back to the book You2 by Price Pritchett that I covered on EPISODE #109, February 2021[iv] that was a high velocity formula for multiplying our personal effectiveness in quantum leaps. If you look at Waschenfelder's image, you can see two places where most people give up. But look at what happens if they kept going! He says it himself. “With one additional move, they see a giant, disproportionally huge impact.” If this is you, doing the work, and not yet seeing the results, go back and listen to EP 109 on the principles of YOU2 that will guarantee you “an explosive jump in your personal performance that puts you far beyond the next logical step.” (Price Pritchett, Page 5, You2). Then when you think that “success is not linear” you'll have a new image formed in your mind, with all the obstacles along with the way, and the goal, right next to that exponential, quantum leap at the end. And Now What? (you ask). This brings us to this week's Brain Fact Friday and how the Japanese term Kaizen, can help us. DID YOU KNOW that “the Japanese term Kaizen, or the practice of using small steps for continuous improvement “actually originated with the U.S Military?” (Friederike Fabritius, points this out in her book, The Leading Brain: Work Smarter, Better, Happier) that we covered when we interviewed her way back on EPISODE #27[v] one of our early episodes. I'm thrilled to share that she will be joining us again soon with her new book coming out October 11th (next week) called The Brain Friendly Workplace[vi] but until then, I wanted to tie this powerful concept of Kaizen, that's used by the U.S. Military (so we know it must be good) with our brain, so we can all benefit from this concept, for the remainder of 2022, and see if it can help us to make a “Quantum Leap or Explosive Jump in our personal or professional performance, that puts us far beyond the next logical step.” (Pritchett) Friederike, in her book, The Leading Brain says that “procrastination is the principle impediment to initiating any habit change. Large goals can seem intimidating unless broken down into manageable steps. Kaizen, the practice of using small steps, can help you to avoid the threat response (in our brain) that frequently drives procrastination.” When I saw the concept of Kaizen, I thought we could easily apply it to our health and wellbeing, (in addition to our professional lives). Or any place where there's too much for our brain to handle, so we don't do anything at all. This strategy can be used in any field to take our results to the next level. I saw Dr. Mark Eley[vii] point out that the Kaizen cycle could be used in education with PLC, as the steps can help educators “to achieve better results for the students they serve.” (DuFour, DuFour & Eaker, 2002).[viii] Whatever sector you are working in, (education, sports, health and wellness) I hope you can see how the Kaizen approach is one way of finding solutions, and breaking through to new levels of achievement, creating your quantum leap. How Can You Use the Kaizen Strategy in the Workplace? STEP 1: Get Your Team Together STEP 2: Write Out Your List of Problems STEP 3: Brainstorm Solutions, Then Choose Yours. STEP 4: Test the Solution STEP 5: Regularly Measure and Analyze the Results STEP 6: If Successful, Adopt the Solution STEP 7: Repeat the Process Keep in mind Thomas Waschenfelder's image as you are working through the 7 steps to break through to new levels of achievement in your workplace, as there will be times throughout that members of the team will want to give up, if they can't see the end results a quantum leap that's miles ahead of where they are now. How Can You Use the Kaizen Strategy for Improved Health? For our health, it looks a lot like what I'm doing when I'm testing products and sharing them with you here on the podcast. When our podcast took a turn towards health and wellness during the pandemic, we began to focus narrowly on the TOP 5 health staples[ix] (exercise, sleep, healthy diet, optimizing our microbiome, and intermittent fasting). Narrowing in on these health staples makes it easier to pinpoint where our challenges are. While recently reading Dr. Tom O'Bryan's book, You Can Fix Your Brain: Just 1 Hour a Week to the Best Memory, Productivity, and Sleep You've Ever Had[x] he mentioned how intimidating it can be to improve our health, with all the different theories, diets, and advice, that often contradicts each other and it's not uncommon to “find ourselves immobilized with minimal results, or not getting better at all.” (O'Bryan, You Can Fix Your Brain). Dr. O'Bryan talks about dedicating just one hour a week to make significant changes with our health, and I wondered how he could guarantee change in this way. In the first few pages of the book he offered a tip that I'll never forget, that will change my brain health forever.  He offers this brain health tip in the first few pages of his book called “A Note from the Author: Progress, Not Perfection” that reminds us that significant gains can occur when we do things the “Kaizen” way. This is just one brain health tip he shares, but I'll never forget it. He says-- This one simple maneuver every time you pump gas, over a lifetime, dramatically reduces the amount of benzene we are exposed to. The Kaizen way. Small actions add up over our lifetime. So to conclude this episode and review this week's Brain Fact Friday, DID YOU KNOW that “the Japanese term Kaizen, or the practice of using small steps for continuous improvement “actually originated with the U.S Military?” and that “the secret for kaizen is that it operates below the radar of your brain's threat response and that the actions you are taking are so small, so incremental, and seemingly inconsequential that psychologist Robert Maurer, (says they really) Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way” (Friederike Fabritius). Whether we are using the Kaizen way for our professional or personal lives, we can take small steps towards progress, every day, that one day, will yield our Quantum Leap that puts us far beyond the next logical step. When you hit your Quantum Leap, I'd love to hear about it. Until then, I'm still working on mine! I'll see you next week.  RESOURCES: Think and Grow Rich Book Study with Andrea Samadi Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 190 PART 1 “Making 2022 Your Best Year Ever”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-1-how-to-make-2022-your-best-year-ever/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #191 PART 2 on “Thinking Differently and Choosing Faith Over Fear”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-2-how-to-make-2022-your-best-year-ever-by-thinking-differently-and-choosing-faith-over-fear/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #193 PART 3 on “Putting Our Goals on Autopilot with Autosuggestion and Our Imagination”   https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-3-using-autosuggestion-and-your-imagination-to-put-your-goals-on-autopilot/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #195 PART 4 on “Perfecting the Skills of Organized Planning, Decision-Making, and Persistence” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-4-on-perfecting-the-skills-of-organized-planning-decision-making-and-persistence/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #195 PART 5 on “The Power of the Mastermind, Taking the Mystery Out of Sex Transmutation, and Linking ALL Parts of Our Mind” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/think-and-grow-rich-book-review-part-5-on-the-power-of-the-mastermind-taking-the-mystery-out-of-sex-transmutation-and-linking-all-parts-of-our-mind/ Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #196 PART 6 “The Neuroscience Behind the 15 Success Principles of Napoleon Hill's Classic Book, Think and Grow Rich” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/the-neuroscience-behind-the-15-success-principles-of-napoleon-hill-s-classic-boo-think-and-grow-rich/ REFERENCES: [i] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #196 “The Neuroscience Behind the 15 Success Principles of Napoleon Hill's Classic Book, Think and Grow Rich” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/the-neuroscience-behind-the-15-success-principles-of-napoleon-hill-s-classic-boo-think-and-grow-rich/ [ii] Success is Nonlinear: Why Most People Give Up Before the Rewards Published June 5, 2020 by Thomas Waschenfelder https://www.wealest.com/articles/success-is-nonlinear?format=amp [iii] Napoleon Hill's 3 Feet from Gold https://www.selfhelpdaily.com/napoleon-hills-three-feet-from-gold/ [iv] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #109 on “Achieving Quantum Level Results Using Pritchett's You2 Principles” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/achieving-quantum-leap-results-using-price-pritchetts-you-squared-principles/ [v]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #27 with Pioneer in the Field of Neuroleadership, Friederike Fabritius on “The Recipe for Achieving Peak Performance”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/pioneer-in-the-field-of-neuroleadership-friederike-fabritius-on-the-recipe-for-achieving-peak-performance/ [vi] The Brain Friendly Workplace by Friederike Fabritius published Oct. 11, 2022 https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Friendly-Workplace-Talented-People-Quit-ebook/dp/B0B627QGWB/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= [vii] Dr. Mark Eley https://twitter.com/1atatym [viii] What is a PLC by Martin Yan Sept. 25, 2020 https://www.illuminateed.com/blog/2020/09/what-is-a-plc/#:~:text=The%20term%20%E2%80%9CPLC%E2%80%9D%20stands%20for,DuFour%20%26%20Eaker%2C%202002).

It's normal for us to get so lost in the constant hustle and grind of daily life that we forget to take care of ourselves. When our bodies are at a sub-optimal state, it seeps into every aspect of our lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. Change Guide for Growth Claire Jones is here to share with us the seven areas that we should focus on to be productive and effective in any task we take. Spoiler alert: It's all in our brains! Tune in to this episode: Seven Areas of Your Life to Prioritize for Optimal Performance with Claire Jones. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Connecting time is for our brain's need for social connection. It can't differentiate a broken heart from a broken leg. If you catch yourself doom-scrolling on social media, take a break. Call up a friend and meet! Your body will thank you for it. ✔️ Playtime releases happy hormones. It gives us a chance to experiment in non-threatening scenarios. Doodling and coloring can help us hone that imaginative and creative muscle and improve different skill sets. ✔️ Downtime brings innovation. Daydreaming allows us to tap into different areas of our brains simultaneously, causing new connections to form – extra helpful when we're dealing with complex problems. That's why all your best ideas are born in the shower. ✔️ Focus time leads to a flow state. This is where challenge and competence meet. Your brain thrives when you're completely engrossed in a single task. No more multi-tasking! ✔️ Time-in is meditation. This is when you use non-judgmental self-observation to achieve self-regulation. You can make better decisions because you've formed a solid foundation of awareness. ✔️ Physical time primes your brain for more learning. Incorporate any type of exercise within your week to achieve a clearer mind so you can seamlessly go through all your activities for the day. ———————————————————————————————— Claire Jones is the Change Guide for Growth who compassionately supports conscious visionaries as they navigate transitional spaces in their personal and professional lives with empowering rituals and elevated wellness practices. As a lifelong student of human behavior, she combines her certification in wellness coaching, certification in NeuroLeadership, BA in Art History, and a decade of trauma-informed therapy practices to help her clients achieve more in less time with less stress.

  This has been a tough week in the United States and while being interviewed on Tom Schimmer's[i] educational podcast on Monday that focuses on learning, leadership, and life, he asked me what keeps me up at night related to education, and my answer to him was “school shootings” since they don't seem to be going away. This was a day before the next mass school shooting would hit the news around the world. This has been a really tough week for everyone, in addition to the stress the world is already facing, and I'm sure those listening to this episode outside of the US can feel the turmoil, and have many questions. While I certainly don't have all the answers, I do have some thoughts that I think can provide some insight and hope for those who tune in. After this incident, while working on releasing our next episode, nothing felt right to me as I was writing, and so I figured the best solution was to take a break from our usual episodes, and think of ways that we could use this platform to amplify the voices left behind (like Chey and Pav have done do well)[ii] and highlight those who have been working in the trenches, to provide solutions for those impacted by the events like we saw repeated this week.  For returning guests, welcome back, and for those who are new here, I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator, with a passion for learning, understanding difficult concepts, and breaking them down so that we can all use and apply the most current research to improve our productivity and results in our schools, sports environments, and workplace environments. For today's episode, #218, and this week's Brain Fact Friday, we are going to look at how neuroscience can help us to understand what's happening in our world today, with some strategies that we can all use to move us from a world of chaos, towards hope. Now this episode feels right to me. Before we take a look at these brain-based solutions, getting a bigger picture overview of the events that occurred this week is important. The k12 school shooting database lists some charts and graphs that provide visuals of this issue documenting “each and every instance a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property (in the US) for any reason, regardless of the number of victims, time, day of the week.” There's a map that you can click on to see the incidents that have occurred by state[iii], and it's eye-opening.  Click on the link in the show notes and see for yourself. There wasn't ONE state in the US that was exempt. You can see some that have less incidents, but country wide, you can see no one remains unaffected. There's also another graph that shows some of the most recent and well-known incidents next to ones we might not all know by name, all the well-known incidents highlighted in red. We can see Columbine in 1999 with 13 people killed, Sandy Hook in 2012 with 26, Sante Fe 2018 (10), Parkland, Florida, 2022 (17) and now Uvalde, Texas with 21 killed this week. I share these numbers and visuals as a way to show that what Mathew Portell said is right on the mark. Moments of silence aren't solutions.  It's time to speak up. But what exactly do we say? How can we “Seek to Understand?” when things are so horrible and abnormal? Dr. Covey's timeless principles can help us all here. We must first Seek to Understand[iv], using Dr. Stephen Covey's Habit #5. How do we understand such difficult tragedies in our world? The Brain of a School Shooter: This takes me back to the work of American Psychologist, Dr. Daniel Amen[v], whose work looking at the brain through SPECT Image Scans[vi] (that looks at blood flow and activity in the brain—where he looks to make improvements and further balance the flow to improve brain function) his work and scans weren't widely accepted when he began years ago, but he now helps people who come to his offices across the country (from well-known sports athletes, to celebrities, to regular people) to look at their brain to get to the root of their health and wellbeing from the brain level. He's famous for saying “When our brain works right, you work right.” Dr. Amen focuses on “why” this behavior is occurring (Habit #5) as he explained on recent Instagram post that the brain of Kip Kinkel[vii] (the shooter from the Thurston High School Shooting in Springfield, OR, 1998) was shown to be “toxic, damaged, and dramatically under active.” Dr. Amen said it “was one of the worst 15-year-old brains” he has ever seen and reminds us that “we have to talk about brain function whenever behavior is so awful and abnormal” and that “if we understand why (his brain is this way—he thinks possibly lack of oxygen at birth) then we can do something about it, but “most people get medication without understanding their brain.” (Dr. Daniel Amen Instagram). Dr. Amen shows a healthy brain that is smooth, even and symmetrical, versus an unhealthy, under-active brain when he points to the brain of the shooter. The challenge with this strategy is that we don't have SPECT image scanners in our classrooms (or any brain scanners at all for that matter!)  to pinpoint those with unhealthy toxic brains, so we could do something with this information. What the Future Holds: Prevention from Understanding Dr. Amen is working on making brain scans that he offers more accessible, which only the future will tell, and aren't immediate solutions but there is still a lot that researching the brains of people who are committing these crimes can show. Since a SPECT image scan would only work on someone who is living (since it measures blood flow and activity in the brain) they can also look at the brain of someone who has died, to see what can be learned. The Brain of NFL Player Aaron Hernandez Just by looking at a razor-thin slice of the brain of Aaron Hernandez, (who was a football player in the NFL who was arrested and convicted of the murder of Odin Lloyd, and ended up committing suicide in prison) it was clear that “his brain was riddled with stage 3 CTE, a neurodegenerative disease which has 4 stages and has been found in athletes like football players, boxers and soccer players who endure repeated concussions and other blows to the head. It's been associated with memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.”[viii] While brain scans are not an immediate but a future solution, I thought about what else we could do as we reflect on the events that stopped us all in our tracks this week to give us some peace in the middle of this chaos. Dr. Amen says often that he's in the “helping business” showing that his brain is hard-wired for altruism.  So How Can We Help Others With our Brain in Mind? Friederike Fabritus, a pioneer in the field of neurol-eadership, who joined us on EPISODE #27[ix]  reminded me this week that “one aspect that is very important for our brain is purpose.  When we help others and behave in altruistic ways, our brain is flooded with the happiness trifecta: dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. These are instant well-being boosters.”[x] Doing good for others helps us to feel better! Research has shown that our brains are hard-wired for altruism and purpose.” Which brings us to this week's Brain Fact Friday. Did you know that: “Doing good for others helps us to feel better!” (Friederike Fabritius[xi], and from the research of a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, LA, Leonardo Christov-Moore[xii]  that “our altruism may be more hard-wired than previously thought?”[xiii] Besides, Dr. Amen, who is helping us to “understand” why people behave in abnormal ways, we also have people in the world who take this understanding to another level by actually doing something about the problems that they see. This leads me to highlight the work of Darryl Scott, the father of Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed at Columbine High School, who founded Rachelschallenge.org that focuses on his daughter's life, with this legacy, not her death. Darryl Scott has spoken to over five million people in live settings around the world, not counting the millions he has spoken to through programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, CNN, and the Today Show. He has authored or co-authored five books, and meets with politicians and educators regularly concerning issues of school violence. I highlight Darryl Scott in this episode (even though there are others taking a stand to end violence in our schools) but I had the chance to hear Darryl Scott speak when he keynoted at a School Counselors Conference in Arizona in 2018 and it was an event I will never forget. While he talked about the importance of safe schools, and provided a timeline of the shootings that occurred after Columbine, he took us all back to the person who created education in the United States in the first place, Horace Mann.[xiv] Scott reminded us about The Principles of the Father of Education, one being the importance of making education “inclusive” for all children. He asked us to all think about where we are today with helping all students feel safe in our schools, making us all think to where US education began in the first place. For this week's Brain Fact Friday where “doing good for others makes us feel better” and that we are “hard-hired for altruism” I hope that we can all think of how we can move forward, with understanding, and go the extra mile to help others in need. We might not be able to solve all the world's problems at once, but doing a little bit every day to help others can make an incredible ripple effect on the world. I know we all know how to do this, and look for the ones who don't stand out in the crowd to help. While writing this episode, my alarm went off, and I had to pick up my youngest from her last day of school. While I was driving her home, there were two kids walking home up the side walk. One kid, looked like the older sister and the other, the youngest was much farther behind. It's now close to 100 degrees out in AZ, so you get the picture. The little one walking behind dropped a folder of papers all over the ground, and her older sister didn't even notice. She kept walking and the two girls were now really far apart. I'm writing this episode and super sensitive to this poor kid who just wants to go home, and now here papers are everywhere, so I stopped the car, and helped her to pick up her papers.  I don't think I'll ever forget the look she gave me when she said “Thank you” as she ran up the street to join her sister. We all have a story like this—maybe you've helped someone walk across the street, or you've shown your kindness in some other way, but now we all know that are brains are wired to help others in this way, and to do more of this moving forward. Review and Conclusion To conclude this week's Brain Fact Friday, where we are looking for solutions to the problems we see in the world, we went back to Dr. Daniel Amen's work where SPECT image brain scans could help us to understand “why” terrible things can happen in the world (Using Dr. Covey's Habit #5 of Seek to Understand First) but until the research catches up with every day practice, we can all remember that: “Doing good for others helps us to feel better and that our brains are hard-wired for altruism and purpose.” When we find that purpose, like Darryl Scott, who founded Rachel's Challenge, this can improve our well-being while our message goes on to impact millions more around the world. Keep our eyes open for those who could use our help, and take action when you can. We can all make the world a better place, and our brains are hard wired to do this.  I hope this weekend that you surround yourself with those you love, and that you think of ways that you can help others around you, as we do have the ability to make change over time, awhich does require action, not silence.  See you next week.

Over the past few years, we've learned that downtime is a necessity for avoiding burnout. But there are several factors that make prioritizing our downtime difficult. Key areas that don't get enough focus are deeply held unconscious biases about gender, race, and identity that affect us all. In this episode, we look at how these biases and expectations impact our ability to get the rest we need. We discuss how organizations can create more inclusive cultures and practices that take these unique challenges into consideration.

As the weather is getting warmer and COVID-19 cases are low in the US, many leaders are itching to get people back into the office. But should they? In this episode, we'll share the latest data and insights on the remote, hybrid, or in-office situation. If your organization is on the path to going hybrid or back to the office full-time, watch as we follow the science on how to do it well. Could there be downstream impacts on employee recruitment and retention? How might a return to office impact equity and inclusion? How might going back affect women in the workforce, or parents that have acclimated to working from home? We touch on these topics, answer your burning questions, and more.

In this episode, we're joined by two special guests: Gwen Young (COO, The Women Business Collaborative) and you—by way of the perspectives you shared in our community surveys! We sat down with Shelby Wilburn (Community Manager and Host, NLI) and Joy VerPlanck, DET (Senior Insights Strategist, NeuroLeadership Institute) to surface intersectional insights about gender equity around the world. The panel explored how unconscious bias manifests itself in our workplace relationships and talent pipelines, and dug deep into the complicated truths about how our factors like gender, race and identity can impact our career journeys. We were also beyond grateful to investigate questions and amplify the stories of viewers like you.

"If you have a brain, you have bias." That phrase is more than a tagline for the NeuroLeadership Institute's model for overcoming bias at scale. It's also a far-reaching truth with profound implications about who we are and how we navigate the world. In this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Dr. David Rock (Co-Founder and CEO, NLI) joins Evynn McFalls (VP Marketing, NLI) to reveal the origins of the SEEDS bias mitigation model and how we put that science to work—transforming thousands of leaders and teams over the past decade. You've never heard the story quite like this. Catch the insights and get a sneak peek at what's next in conquering unconscious bias.

In this Season 7 Premiere episode, Dr. David Rock and John Edwards recap some of the landmark insights that came out of the 2022 NeuroLeadership Summit in February. These insights include: - How to shift from depletive to a regenerative style of managing people - Why empathy is no longer a nice-to-have but a business imperative - Why to be an ally you have to have an aversion to inequity - How rapid change at scale is absolutely possible, and more If you were able to attend the Summit, this session will help you reflect on your insights and deepen your connections. If you missed the Summit, this session will offer a fantastic overview of the key takeaways and indicate where the world of work and leadership may be going next.

Rapid #change at scale is absolutely possible.
