2. OPENNESS EMOTIONS RESISTANCE EMBRACING CHANGES

3. What will the audience hear? THE URGE TO FIND BALANCE AND REMAIN SECURE FOREVER IS HUMAN, YET RATHER UNLIKELY. NEW SOLUTIONS WILL NOT GAIN TRACTION STRAIGHTAWAY. THEY NEED TIME AND PATIENCE. WHAT INITIALLY SEEMS BITTER AND TOUGH EXPERIENCE OFTEN TURNS OUT TO BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. IN ORDER NOT TO GET RUSTY YOU NEED TO INTRODUCE MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR WORK ON A DAILY BASIS.

4. What’s inside? When your brain resists: What does a neuropsychology say about our openness to changes? Organizational inertia and an expert’s ego: What happens when big organizations face the constant need for changes? Three most common attitudes to changes: Don Quixote, matrix victim and down-to-earth guy. Neurofitness: the art of exercising your brain. Unfreeze the organization: farewell with irrational rituals. Followership in the process of implementation.

5. Why should you go for it? The latest research from neuropsychology applied to corporate life: better understanding of change implementation process from the perspective of human brain. Jointly delivered with prof. Rafał Ohme, who successfully breaks all academic stereotypes (including a stereotype of an academic bore). Interspersed with entertaining tasks, experiments and brain exercises for participants.
