Clues from
Neuroscience for Catalytic Conversations
In a "VUCA" world in the midst of the "Fourth
Industrial revolution" amidst digitisation, automation,
globalisation and disintermediation, we have started to value some priceless
human only traits which can’t be digitised and which are invaluable in leading
our businesses and society to their maximum potential.
Channelling the compassion, creativity, imagination,
intuition and ethics of our leaders to consciously engage themselves and others
towards a thoughtfully co-created future is surely an imperative to create a
sustainable world.
To quote futurist Gerd
Leonhard “technology is the how and humanity is the why”.
The more we can partner
and innovate on the human level the more we can consciously drive change rather
than being driven by it.
Nothing has given me more hope recently than to
observe how simple conversations give birth to actions that can change lives
and restore our faith in the future. There is no more powerful way to initiate
significant social change than to start a conversation. When a group of people
discover that they share a common concern, that's when the process of change
begins.
Margaret J.
Wheatley
Using coaching principles and philosophies as a foundation,
this masterclass will highlight insights from Neuroscience that illustrate the
value of key conversational skills to access and express the best of our human
potential.
Key findings will be presented and dialogue will be
invited so that the master class itself takes the form of a catalytic
conversation from which participants can craft the most relevant conversational
approach for their particular context.
