Your Topic: Ever wondered why you can know exactly what you should do... and still find yourself doing the opposite? Your brain is constantly working behind the scenes, filtering information, conserving energy, predicting what comes next and steering you towards what's familiar. Most of the time, you don't even realise it's happening. In this practical and engaging session, neuroscientist and neurocoach Dr Simone Boer shares five simple brain hacks that will help you better understand what's happening inside your head, and how to work with your brain rather than against it. You'll discover practical ways to interrupt unhelpful patterns, shift your thinking, make better decisions and create meaningful change in your work and life. Expect neuroscience without the jargon, some surprising insights into why you do what you do, and practical tools you can start using straight away.
