Helping people to do their best thinking, is Amanda Cookson. A coach, facilitator and all-round neuroscience whizz, she’s made it her mission to help leaders better understand what it means to be human.
And it all starts with our own thinking-feeling, wildly brilliant, untamed brain! She guides us through its inner workings with effervescence and passion, showing us how to work with it – rather than against it – steer pulse-quickening conversations towards oxytocin, and design experiences that help rewire the brain for real, lasting change.
An energising, thoughtful conversation, full of golden mind-training nuggets to try in both facilitation, and life!
Find out about:
- Why the discomfort of cognitive dissonance can lead to richer learnings
- The power of asking great questions in search of answers that ignite deep thinking
- Amanda’s feelings-based ground rules of presence, curiosity and generosity
- Friends vs Foe: how to turn self-fulfilling prophecies into human connection
- How to facilitate with the brain in mind, for insight, rather than information
