Ep 82: How your triune brain navigates the corporate landscape

As a corporate leader looking to make more of an impact and get out of stress mode, it's time to meet the triune brain and get behind-the-scenes of what's going on for you. And this time, on video! In this Ep. 82 of the Pausecast... - We get our inner nerd on and learn more about neuroscience and how to leverage it as a confident, impactful corporate leader! - We explain what the triune brain is, and how it works: reptilian, mammalian, and neocortex and how they came to be. - How each of these 3 parts contributes to you as a leader and its shortcomings and benefits. - How to get out of 'reptilian mode'  so you don't feel overwhelmed or stressed by activating your other parts of your brain. - Learn the triad of needs, or needs of each part of the triune system: audiovisual, nurturing, and creative-intellectual stimulation - great tactics for the office based on team dynamics or based on how your day is going.  - How play can help us get out of stress and activate our mammal circuitry that helps release our pleasure and rest and digest hormones (hello, oxytocin!) A little more about where the triune brain concept came from: Paul MacLean (1913-2007) was an American physician and neuroscientist who spent six decades of work researching the brain and hypothesized that the skull holds not one brain but three “interconnected biological computers, each representing a distinct evolutionary stratum” that was formed upon the older layer before it. He called it the “triune brain” and identified three prominent parts, each one containing more progressively complex infrastructure of nerve cells: reptilian, mammalian, and paleo-mammalian.
