Decoding the Human Brains at Work: Change, Transformation, and Neuroscience with Michelle Teunis

from Sips and Stories with Anjali Batra

In this episode, I talk with Michelle Teunis, an applied organisational neuroscience specialist and change leader, who discusses decoding human brains at work and the complexities of change and transformation. We explore how leaders can effectively manage fast-paced change, considering the brain's four key organising principles: minimising threat and maximising reward, the brain as a prediction machine, an energy conservationist, and a social connector or survivalist.Want to know more about the Neuroleadership Institute’s SCARF model?➡️ https://impact.neuroleadership.com/s/Welcome-to-the-SCARF-Assessment/tt-03guKWant to know more about the FIVE biggest biases that impact decision making (SEEDs model?): ➡️ https://www.neuroleadership.com/articles/the-5-biggest-biases-that-affect-decision-makingWant to know more about Brain-Friendly Change?➡️ https://aclinstitute.com/courses/brain-friendly-change-course/Want to know more about Psychosocial Hazards in the Australian Context?➡️ https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/safety-topic/managing-health-and-safety/mental-health/psychosocial-hazardsWant to know more about AI, worker engagement and the Invisible Bystander Report? ➡️ https://www.uts.edu.au/news/2024/06/invisible-bystanders-workers-experience-ai Hosted on Acast.
