The Essential Experts

1. The neuroscience of change, resilience and dealing with uncertainty

Change is as much a corporate or personal challenge as it is a biological one. Our brains prefer predictability and stability, which is why change and uncertainty often trigger resistance, fatigue, and rumination. But what if we could work with our brain’s natural mechanisms instead of fighting against them?

A highly interactive session, which will equip you with scientific tools to navigate change, increase resilience and reframe uncertainty. We will look at why change feels difficult to the brain, how habits resist disruption, and discuss many practical, science-backed tools to increase resilience, adaptability, and cognitive flexibility in the face of continuous change and transformation.

Separating science from science fiction: expect many a-ha moments, scientific experiments and practical tools, which will equip you to navigate change, increase resilience and reframe uncertainty.

1. The neuroscience of innovation: are you sure you are doing it right?

Every organization wants to innovate, yet up to this day, there remains a big gap between what neuroscience knows and what business does, when it comes to innovation. This keynote closes that gap. It separates science from science fiction, with tools and insights into how innovation really works in the brain, inside teams and organizations.

Through sharing latest scientific experiments, we explore how the brain drives creativity, why idleness and boredom are not wasted time but rather innovation accelerators, and how the spaces we work in shape our thinking and creativity at neuronal level. Stay tuned for insights into the impact of AI on the brain, innovation and creativity and research into why most brainstorming sessions are biologically misaligned with how groups actually co-create.
