Neuroscience Masterclass: The Science Behind Effective Employee Engagement & Change
Neuroscience Masterclass: The Science Behind Effective Employee Engagement & Change
Neuroscience reveals how behaviour originates in the brain. This knowledge gives communication and engagement practitioners a deeper and clearer understanding of how to support teams, drive engagement and enable effective change.
The learning from our colleagues in the science community is shining a light on how behaviour and mindset matters, how the right environments create the best ideas, and how language, consistency and emotion all play a leading role.
As communication practitioners, we now have the evidence to support what we have always instinctively understood.
This two part virtual masterclass is designed to introduce communication practitioners to the principles of neuroscience and how it can support effective communication, engagement and change management.
Who should attend?
The course is linked to the Understanding People and Cultures and Influencing and Advising areas of the IoIC Profession Map.
It is most suitable for those working around levels 2 and 3, and towards level 4, of the map, but would be useful for anyone looking to learn more about neuroscience and the impact on communication.
