In this workshop, we will examine and apply the practices of neuro-leadership to understand what our brains do as we perform our day-to-day project tasks, and how to exploit this understanding to improve our ability to prioritize, organize, estimate and communicate more effectively. We will look at how to listen more effectively, manage our inner state for better focus and control, and “read” the state others may be in to enable us to communicate with them more effectively.
