Description
Inside your brain are many of the keys to what make you and others tick. Imagine peering into the minds of your clients. Now you can!

Dario Nardi, PhD shares key results and anecdotes from his neuroscience lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. In lab, he views people's brain activity in real time as they engage in
activities from signing their name to participating in a speed dating game and handling decision making situations. The results are clear: individual personality differences matter.

Attendees will learn specific "must know" leadership and coaching points that link to the 8 Jungian functions and 16 Myers-Briggs personality types. These points are based on solid research. Dr Nardi will share insights into problem solving, empathy and active listening, crisis management, visualizing for the future, and ways to evoke and sustain a state of creative "flow". People of different personality types don't merely rely on different brain regions. They use their brains in fundamentally different ways, with tremendous implications.

With these secrets in hand, attendees will be able to quickly and powerfully evoke the interest and capabilities of employees, clients, and students. Attendees will receive appropriate take-away handouts.

High Level Agenda
Morning (Insights, 3 hours)
We step through each of the 8 Jungian functions. For each function, attendees will learn key leading and coaching points based on brain research. Nardi uses colorful slides, anecdotes, and brief activities to illustrate key points. Includes a brief, accessible overview of EEG technology used to "see" inside people's brains.

Afternoon (Applications, 3 hours)
We do two or three applications. Example applications include:
Leveraging Cognitive Preferences: Identify a case study to apply coaching and leadership points covered in the morning session.
Trans contextual Thinking: Learn a step-by-step method to locate general principles that allow you to act quickly and effectively in surprise situations.
Facilitating Problem Solving: Practice asking key questions to build rapport one-on-one with individuals and help them locate fresh solutions to problems.
