The Leadership Brain
The Leadership Brain takes what neuroscience and psychology tell us about how people think, feel, connect and perform, and turns it into practical things leaders can do on Monday. In seven short modules you'll learn why people move away from threat and towards reward, how stress changes your decisions, how habits form, what really motivates people, how to give feedback the brain can hear, how to lead people through change and how to protect your energy. It's built on Sonia McDonald's Leadership Brain Framework™: Think, Feel, Connect and Perform.
Is The Leadership Brain for you?
Your people react in ways you don't expect
Feedback lands badly, change meets resistance, and you'd like to understand why.
You make big calls under pressure
You want to decide well when stress is high, not just when you have time to think.
You want habits that stick
For yourself and your team, built on how the brain actually forms them, not willpower.
Learning around a full diary
