Summary
This workshop is open to anyone interested in the topic. It is also a required part of the Mid-Level Management Certificate. Get more information on the MLMC.
This 14-hour program is held over six-weeks. The workshop will be a mix of self-directed learning in the online learning platform Canvas, four live Zoom sessions, and two optional virtual Practice Circles to take a deeper dive. The self-directed learning exercises will be available in Canvas one week before the live sessions and should be completed before that date. The course structure allows you to integrate the concepts into your work (and life) by learning in chunks and then practicing. Neuroscience studies tell us this is the best way to learn and transform. The learner time investment is about 2.5 hours per week with a maximum of 4 hours in week 2.
A team's dynamism and cohesiveness have a major impact on any leader's overall success. Through neuroscience-backed techniques, this skills-focused workshop helps leaders create a psychologically safe culture, increase employee engagement and productivity and improve mental and physical well being.
Participants in this workshop learn and practice techniques for cooling down their Lower Brain, our fear-based survival center, and activating the Higher Brain, the center for creativity, critical thinking and interpersonal connections. By employing these skills, leaders can increase their tolerance for discomfort and be better equipped to manage potentially difficult conversations and change. The results are a fulfilling and successful workplace, personal growth, and a high-functioning community.
This workshop facilitates the integration of medical, brain, and social science knowledge into daily life through practical application, empowering participants to achieve lasting change.
