Dr LeanneWall, you and your team explore the neurobiology of the brain discovering why we respond the way we do. Leanne makes the distinction between being emotional versus using our executive ‘adult’ brain and how to maximise interpersonal skills including negotiation and influence to forge collaborative and functional relationships, both at work and at home. Leanne further explains assertive versus aggressive communication and why the later doesn’t work, particularly in leadership. She develops an awareness of how to actively listen, show empathy, establish rapport with other and build functional relationships. She distinguishes managing from leading in order to develop a well-functioning team; networking without fear and anxiety and understanding how and why it is important to be a good role model in both your professional and personal life.
