Many organizations are trying to adapt and adopt new ways of working and I want to support as many leaders as I can, to effectively support their people through these times.

If your organisation is to survive and thrive in these uncertain times, you need to rethink the way you develop as leaders or how you develop your leaders.

I really believe that actionable knowledge is power and understanding how the brain works, empowers leaders and educators to be the best version of themselves and the result is ‘increased workplace performance and productivity’- Maureen Chiana.

 

Our Strategies consist of Five Key Areas: NeuroREACT:

Rewire your brain for success – awareness of beliefs, mindset, perceptions and impact in the workplace
Emotional Intelligence – managing emotional and mental states for increased performance
Adaptability – empathy, flexibility through change/leading change
Connect – Increased employee engagement with learners and each other, through more effective communication, feedback and collaboration.
Transform – transformation with behaviour change that boosts productivity, and outcome whilst increasing expectations and profits.

 

You learn to use brain-based skills to breakthrough mental and emotional limitations, to become serving leaders that lead at a higher conscious level.

You learn to manage your emotional state, so you breakthrough negative thinking patterns to achieve the organizations goals, build resilience & confidence, stay focused to lead at a higher level and achieve higher performance, higher productivity and profitability.  

By using these skills, you will  maximize the value you get from the communication and collaboration of your staff, which is essential to improving the quality of service provided across your institution.

Using Neuroscience To Achieve High Performing Leadership

This time calls for a new conscious leadership capacity to meet the challenges faced, in a more intentional and strategic way. 

To develop such a capacity would allow leaders create a workforce of greater possibilities.

Your success as a leader or manager does not depend on 'What you do' or 'How you do it,'  but on the 'Inner workings of your Mind'.

Conscious leadership is about integrating your mental and emotional states and collaboratively bringing innovative solutions to the challenging issues of the organization.

Success isn’t possible without changing the behaviour of people throughout the organization. But changing behavior is never easy even when it is obvious, that new habits will lead to significant progress.

Leaders and managers that understand the recent breakthroughs in the Neuroscience of leadership can lead and influence mindful change: true transformation must take into account the functionality of the brain, and the ways in which it predisposes people to resist some forms of leadership and accept others. 

It is imperative now that to truly be a successful productive organisation calls for looking forward and leaving the past behind.

Most organizations have missed out on the benefits of collaborative working as they find that highly competitive teams are secretly working against each another.

The Benefits of this are:

  • creation of an empowered workforce with lasting transformative change.
  • increased employee engagement
  • greater creativity and innovation
  • increased productivity and high performance
  • support with 'Succession Planning'

- with an overall outcome of improved sustained business results.
