Have you ever learnt something that, at the time, you thought would be life-changing, only to look back at yourself a year or so later and realise that you hadn't changed in the slightest? Why is that? Why is change so hard?

In this workshop which was presented at 1st Conference, we will show some of the neuroscience behind learning and change and explain why change is so hard, and provide some concrete techniques about how to learn more effectively and change your behaviours to put those learnings into practice.

As organisations have become more agile and try to build “high-performing” teams, they have started to hire for cultural and team fit. As a result they search for people who can collaborate and are team players; who are willing to develop a deep trust in each other and in the team’s purpose; who freely express feelings and ideas; who engage in extensive discussion; who are adaptable and embrace change and who are comfortable managing constructive conflict towards a better outcome.

There are however, many people who do not meet that criteria, and for various reasons, may struggle to meet that criteria in the future.

Everyone brain is wired slightly differently and not everyone’s wiring fits the mould described above.

Does the exclusivity of the above criteria result in certain people missing out who could have significant positive value.
