The Elephant in the Room: Using Brain Science to Enhance Working Relationships
Increasing gender intelligence strengthens our ability to maximize the contributions of all members of the team while maintaining both equity and uniqueness. New research from neurobiology sheds light on the real differences in male and female brain structure, chemistry, and blood flow. This data underlies the emerging science of gender intelligence, providing a new vision of gender relationships. Gender-intelligent supervision, employee coaching/mentoring and negotiation and conflict management leads to a competitive edge in the toolkit of forward-looking companies.
The presentation will last approximately 25 minutes with slides, including some short exercises participants will do with a partner seated near them. Following the presentation, participants will discuss 3-5 questions/scenarios in small groups followed by a general debrief. Many of the slides are humorous and all are primarily image driven. Think pink/blue brains….
- Participants will learn the key brain differences between men and women
- Participants will understand how brain science data can improve communication, relationships, and contributions on Agile teams
- Participants will understand the concept of bridge brains
- Participants will see more options for leading and working on Agile teams with authenticity and heart
