THE NEUROSCIENCE OF LEADERSHIP: Using NeuroSomatic Creativity to Empower Teams
The science is clear. Trust is the new driver of productivity. Getting your message across, lowering fears (both rational and irrational), and pulling out the best of your team members requires strong leadership. Using the unique NeuroSomatic Creativity framework will empower leaders to increase their sensory abilities for self awareness and leadership success.
Scientists have identified the brain mechanisms that support our ability to connect and communicate with others and reveal how we can activate and strengthen them. Learn how to develop team chemistry and trust by building team identity through shared goals, values and an increase of oxytocin.
Your leadership team will benefit by:
01.
Understand the hidden influences that affect the auditory, visual and cognitive perceptions of people and situations
02.
Equip leaders with tools to increase oxytocin opportunities and mitigate automatic judgements
03.
Identify underlying strengths and abilities in diverse team members to build confidence and well being
04.
Increase self-awareness and empathy during evaluation sessions
Building Beyond Bias™ Training
Having an open mind is the #1 indicator of a highly creative thinker as well as a highly culturally competent person. This two-hour training facilitates the mental development of identifying and dismantling prejudging mental blocks that inhibit open-mindedness and empathy.
This training focuses on unconscious bias training, which includes cultural bias, creative biases, and other cognitive biases that affect decision making, hiring, promoting, and building interpersonal relationships. We teach mental tools for leaders and team members to manage and adjust for biases, unconscious beliefs, and self-limiting creative restraints.
Your team will benefit by:
01.
Understanding how bias is formed in the unconscious mind and recognize the difference between affinity bias, confirmation bias, social comparison bias, and attribution bias in decision making and creative ideations.
02.
Through the use of the Diversity Diamond, team members identify and discuss dominant and non-dominant positions on self-identified cultural demographics that influence life and work experiences.
03.
Employing tools to give and take feedback around biased behavior and use language and phrases that increase belonging and creative ideation success.
04.
Utilizing tools to identify, dismantle and manage unconscious biases.
Eradicating Microaggressions in the Workplace
We desire for our people to thrive. Creativity thrives in an inclusive culture that values the whole individual and their many differences. When microaggressions, or Subtle Acts of Exclusion (SAE), are present, many employees feel disempowered and perform below their creative potential. This is costly for the employee and the organization. This training will support your employees with tools to take part in building a culture of inclusion and creativity.
Your team will benefit by:
01.
Self identifying various types of biases, such as unconscious bias and affinity bias that can affect judgement in the creative process
02.
Building a culture of belonging to include and support the creative ideation and contribution of all voices on your team
03.
Identifying and adjusting patterns that contribute to unconscious bias and being able to self regulate responses for a more inclusive outcome
04.
Being confident with inclusion tools and strategies for a supportive environment that promotes creativity and innovation
Perspective Shifting for Leadership
The ability to perspective shift is needed for empathy, creativity, cultural competence, and innovation yet can be reduced as leaders advance higher in position. Few leaders invest time to develop this skill. Perspective-taking skills can improve through training and it activates the social brain network, which can also reduce implicit bias.
Our training uses situational and artistic methods to sharpen and develop the ability to perspective shift in professional environmental experiences and cultural experiences. Empathy skills are further developed and imagination exercises, such as ‘fictive learning,’ are explored and utilized.
Your C-Suite and leaders will benefit by:
01.
strengthening perspective taking skills through the use of artistic, metaphoric and narrative methods
02.
utilizing various methods of communication to express new perspectives in order to discover hidden relationships
03.
learning how to identify and confront any biases or previously held beliefs that may negatively affect the perspective taking process
04.
developing the use of multiple sensory inputs to increase the perspective taking experience
Allyship and Trust: Being An Ally Across Cultural Differences
Allyship, which is the process of advocating for another in the area of justice and inclusion, is a required strategy for building an inclusive environment where employees can creatively thrive. Many people lack the knowledge or have anxiety in how to become an ally because they are missing the tools and confidence to effectively speak up for others. This professional development equips team members to observe, perspective shift, and communicate on the behalf of others as a compassionate ally.
