Awkward Nuggets with Dr. Melissa Hughes

Dr. Melissa Hughes is a self-proclaimed neuroscience geek, author and keynote speaker. Having spent the first decade of her professional career in education observing how the brain works through the lives of her students, she realized there were simple, applicable tools that could optimize performance outcomes and improve their overall learning processes.  Understanding how to learn, how to solve problems, and to think creatively becomes even more important when you leave the classroom and step into the work-life arena. Having worked with a wide range of audiences - from students in the classroom to leaders in the boardroom of Fortune 1000 companies, Dr. Hughes combines her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction and her vast experience in marketing communications with extensive research in neuroscience and behavioral psychology to share simple, applicable strategies that improve performance and outcomes in our professional and personal lives.  With energy and humor, Melissa gives attendees tools to harness the skills to create a culture of learning and inspire organizations and teams to tap into their inner genius for extraordinary results.
