Due to the way the human brain is wired, during times
of rapid change the nervous system can be triggered
into a state of threat, shutting down the areas of the
brain needed for emotional and physical wellness.
Fortunately, insights from modern neuroscience and
mind-body research shine light on ways to regain
control to maintain a sense of calm and clarity.
This presentation shares the science underlying
the experience we are having as we navigate the
turbulence associated with an evolving environment.
It explores evidenced-backed mind-body-brain tools
for staying connected and cultivating stress resilience
in the face of adversity and ongoing flux. Strategies for
managing stress and strain, staying focused at work,
and collaborating effectively with others to mobilize
positive change will be shared.
