What an incredible newday Leadership Lab with Dr Fiona Kerr — ‘Harnessing the capacity for human connection’.

So many learnings. Here are just a few…

We get the brain we shape by paying attention to what we think is important.
We build brand new brain forever. What fires together wires together.
We change each other’s brains for better or worse? It’s a gift and a huge responsibility.
The brain grows with human connection, new challenges, adequate sleep, exercise in nature and good gut health.
Stress and the release of cortisol stops brain growth.
Napping in the afternoon (20mins) helps to improve cognitive performance.
Organisations that value and have high levels of human connection develop great trust, empathy, shared values, can reframe negatives easier and are more creative and productive.
Good adaptive leaders have a clear passionate vision, have strongly held values, have pragmatic optimism, they take the time it takes, they value human connection and know how to use technology for good.
Distraction stops Abstraction. Disconnect, look up and absorb the view.
Humans love oscillating together. That’s why we go to newday Leadership Labs. We absolutely need the chemicals that we get when we are together to feel connected and a strong sense of belonging.
