The Brain Science of Performance: MANAGING EMOTIONS IN A COMPLEX WORLD
The current environment of complexity and uncertainty is exacting a great toll on many
individuals – not just leaders. It is affecting performance, creativity and the critical
connections between team members and it is
even causing problems at home. It doesn’t have
to be this way!
In this program, which is targeted at non-leaders
and leaders alike, participants will learn tools to manage their emotions more effectively in the
midst of uncertainty and turbulence. They will
learn how, under the pressure of change or
difficult to manage relationships, they are at risk to fall into ‘default behaviors’, causing them to have impact that they don’t intend. Among the many consequences are that they lose connection to key individuals or customers, allow
conflicts to fester on a team - causing good people to shut down, become disengaged or
leave - and impact their own ability to sustain best performance.
Keeping it together: STRESS AND SUSTAINABILITY
Research is clear that some people handle stress better than others and are more resilient in the face of change and uncertainty. What is clear is that this more resilient group was not born with special traits or abilities – they acquired them. In this powerful new keynote, your team will learn how to acquire the critical tools of dealing with
stress and uncertainty so that they can sustain performance and increase happiness, even in these difficult times.
Through this engaging keynote, JP will introduce your team to:
-The key attributes and mindset that characterize highly resilient people.
-The three traps that can sabotage their best intention, causing them to lose focus and confidence.
- The two tools that will help them be the ‘calm person in the boat’, taking charge of what they can control and letting go of what they cannot.
-How to be a more positive force in the organization, ‘lifting’ others around them as opposed to bring them down.
Change is Coming. Are you Ready?: LEADING IN A COMPLEX, UNCERTAIN WORLD
Dr. Pawliw-Fry understands what differentiates individuals who can perform more effectively under the pressure of the present economic climate and during change. He brings a scientific understanding and insight into the traps that can cause leaders to become more reactive and ineffective in difficult environments. He offers real tools to help individuals lead themselves and others through complex and uncertain times. Unknowingly, most people shut down or react strongly and adversely during change or when times get tough. Uncertainty, complexity and change cause the brain to react in certain specific ways and, if not managed, can get in the way of an individual's good intention. This program will bring insight and inspiration to better deal with ongoing change.
