May Session with guest speaker, Kate Lanz
The best of all the brains! Unlocking the ‘thrive’ in your brain.
We invite you to come and hear from Industry Leader, Executive Coach, author and specialist in applied neuroscience in business, Kate Lanz, who will be speaking on our next meeting. Kate will talk to us about brain sex diversity and how by understanding ourselves better, we can unlock our own potential and enable our brains to thrive.
Properly valuing brain diversity in the workplace is one the biggest and largely untapped sources of competitive advantage for modern businesses. Recent advances in neuroscience provides the key to unlocking it. Understanding the power and subtlety of brain sex diversity is vital in enabling the best of all the brains.
Modern research shows there are sex-based differences in the brain – it is not just as simple as a binary ‘female brain’ and ‘male brain’. In fact, our brains are a mosaic and unlocking ‘thrive’ across the brain sex spectrum is fascinating, fun, good for personal well-being and good for business.
Anyone who wants to understand themselves, who leads others and wants to inspire, and who wants to unlock potential in themselves, and their business will enjoy this informative, interactive and practical session run by Kate Lanz.
