Conference Keynote
‘The Neuroscience Of Work – Zombies, Vampires, Psychopaths – and Everyday Heroes (aka, the worry and the happy…….) In recognising that we understand the impact good leadership, good engagement etc has on workforces, we also have to better understand what happens when things are not great and how we can sustainably change this for our organisations and the people we service. So, if work feels difficult, and you are challenged with people, performance and mental health issues, this talk will be enlightening. Maria Paviour, author, award winning neuro psychologist and pioneer of NeuChem ™, provides a fascinating insight into the world of work, and how extreme management and target driven cultures can create ‘zombification’ a process in which the brains of employees literally close down. Maria will provide guidance on how to overcome the White Collar Psychopaths, Vampires and Zombies that can silently rise and prosper by explaining how to develop a brain friendly ‘work ecology’ and by activating the dormant Super-Hero within who can save us all!
