Your Brain Makeover:
1. The brain in survival mode doesn't solve problems and it certainly doesn't innovate. Learn to recognize survival mode and how to navigate to the part of your brain that sees, thinks and creates.
2. "Soft skills" aren't just a good idea, they are the soil from which good ideas grow. Employees and teams that feel psychologically safe and relationally valued move naturally into their most creative brain.
3. Periods of rest produce greater creativity and allow for new perspectives. The driven brain is losing capacity for high level thought and doesn't recognize it.
4. Learn to recognize levels of thought. Most employees are operating at level one, words and ideas. True change, potential change takes place at level three, the level where lenses and paradigms shift.
5. Consider "identity" as more than just good psychology. The most effective version of you and everyone on your team is the most congruent version of them.
6. Your brain is a physical organ. Good physical health is good brain health. Eat healthy, move your body. Do resistance training and manage your stress more efficiently.
Learn to navigate your brain and the brains of your teams...watch the level of productivity, innovation and synergy skyrocket!
