Our free webinars kicked off for the year with this one conducted yesterday (17th February 2021). In Why Leaders Lead With the Brain In Mind, NeuroCapability CEO, Linda Ray, presented some ground-breaking ideas around what she calls Social Safety and how sub-conscious drivers constantly feed into psychological safety – which underpins the organisational outcomes we all want.

Innovation consultant and broadcaster, James O’Loghlin, talks about the difference between believing “being more innovative” is important and doing something to be more innovative. The full interview with James is included in the first episode of Workplace Thinking, a video broadcast produced by NeuroCapability.

In this first episode of Workplace Thinking, innovation consultant, lawyer, broadcaster, and comedian, James O'Loghlin, talks about innovation and how organisations can be more innovative. NeuroCapability founder and CEO, Linda Ray, looks at the interview - and the topic of innovation - through a neuroscience lens.

Leadership - what does this mean for you? What is the secret ingredient to being a great leader? It is quite simple really. The best leaders act in ways that support social and psychological safety of the people they lead. It is not rocket science but our understanding of how the brain drives behaviour has been largely absent from our leadership education programs.

Carolyn McSweeney-Grant talks about how the Advanced Diploma of Neuroscience of Leadership changed her business and her self.
