Developing Your Inner Wise Advocate: The Neuroscience of Strategic Leadership
In this hands-on course, you will have an opportunity to develop your capabilities and become a more strategic leader. You will strengthen the aspects of your mind and brain that lead you to move toward long-term, powerful goals instead of short-term transactional goals. If you work with leaders and aspiring leaders, this course will give you concepts and practitioners’ tools to help others move in that direction.
With the ongoing practice of executive function (learning to manage complexity and impulses), mentalizing (thinking about what others are thinking), and applied mindfulness (becoming more aware of your thoughts), you cultivate your internal voice of strategic leadership. You also begin to speak with that voice in the organizations and communities around you.
