Executive Circle

In the workplace there are many calls for our attention, pushing the brain to do too much at once.

This presentation will explain how many everyday processes overload the critical executive function of the brain, leading to poor decision-making based on incorrect integration of information.

Neuroscience expert Josephine Thomson will show how to organize information to work with the brain rather than against it. This will ensure that problem solving and decision-making is more effective and efficient.

Hear how your brain tricks you into thinking you can do more than you can, learn of the power of distraction and how to embed memory, and explore the hot topic of multi-tasking, which is expected of so many people in the workplace.

In this presentation, Josephine will unpack:

• How attention affects the brain
• The impact of attention on short term and long term memory integration
• The neuroscience of insight
• The myth of multi-tasking

Participants will leave with an understanding of how the brain likes to work for optimal performance outcomes, and practical ways to integrate information more effectively, to improve problem solving and decision-making capability.

80/20 Leadership: Finding the simplicity in responsible leadership, innovation and change.

World-renowned author Dr Steve Lundin FAIM has a bias towards simplicity. In taking his powerful messages on engagement, performance and innovation to audiences in over 40 countries, he has always drawn simple truths from an inventory of work experience spanning dishwasher to think tank executive; teacher to business school dean; golf caddy to camp director; and small business owner to national sales manager.

For decades, Steve has dedicated a portion of his work to exploring the simplicity that lives on the other side of complexity in the subjects most near and dear to those in business. At the top of his list are change, leadership, innovation, performance improvement, management, motivation, culture, quality, customer service, sustainability and learning how to learn.

In 1998, Steve wrote FISH! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results. In this parable, he presented the simplicity inside culture change, customer service and quality of work life. Now, seven million copies and seven books later, he is writing a book titled 80/20 Leadership, to both expand and consolidate his work on simplicity.

In an exclusive AIM MasterClass, Dr Steve Lundin FAIM will apply ’80/20′ thinking to a range of business subjects, and look at the simplicity beyond the complexity in leadership and innovation.

Ideal for managers or about-to-be managers, this MasterClass will cover:

• The simplicity inside leadership
• Clarity between leadership and management
• The simplicity in change management
• The simplicity in innovation from a personal point of view
• The simplicity in creating the right culture

Don’t miss the latest thinking from the man who has engaged and motivated people the world over with the FISH! Philosophy. Places are strictly limited, so book now.
