Busy Brains, Better Breaks // Business Skills

from The Linklaters Podcast · host Linklaters

Episode 22: The Linklaters Ideas Foundry Speakers: Amy Brann, Ian Rodwell and Lila Vialat Why do our best ideas arrive in the shower and rarely in a meeting? Neuroscientist and author Amy Brann joins the Ideas Foundry to explore how a working knowledge of the brain can supercharge organisational performance. We discuss how overloaded diaries, vague priorities and endless meetings drain our energy and focus - and how cognitive variety, conducive spaces and simple daily recovery habits can reduce stress while increasing the quality of our work. From the power of walking to the surprising effects of colouring circles, Amy shares a range of tips to help us work, rest (and play) more successfully.
