ASCI is a proud member of the NeuroLeadership Institute. We have found the research and content very valuable to our practice and ultimately our clients. The 2009 NeuroLeadership Summit will take place in Los Angeles at the UCLA campus in Westwood October 27th through October 29th. It should be another outstanding summit.
Areas of focus will include:
- The physiology of presence, trust, integrity and other leadership competencies
- Why change is so hard at an individual and systemic level, and how to make it easier
- The neuroscience of mindfulness
- Why it’s often so hard to think clearly and how to make better decisions
- The anatomy of an ’aha!’ and how to have more of them
- Driving performance through understanding the goals of the brain
- How we know ourselves and others
- The neuroscience of social networks, and why the social world is so important
- Learning about the brain in K-12 education
- Teaching leaders and managers about the brain
Speakers will include:
- Daniel Siegel – author of best seller ‘The Developing Mind’, co-director of UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center
- Warren Bennis – one of the greats of leadership development
- Werner Erhard – founding father of transformational leadership
- Jonah Lehrer – neuroscientist and author of recent bestseller ‘How We Decide’
- Marco Iacoboni – leading mirror neuron researcher
- Naomi Eisenberger – leading social neuroscience researcher
- Yi-Yuan Tang – leading attention researcher
- Matthew Lieberman – founding father of social neuroscience
- Evian Gordon – leading brain researcher, building world’s largest database of brain research
- John Joseph – expert on teaching kids about the brain
- Dr Al Ringleb – Director, CIMBA Business School, Italy, co-founder, NeuroLeadership Institute
- David Rock – author and global leadership consultant, co-founder, NeuroLeadership Institute
The theme this year is ‘toward integration’, and the sessions will be even more integrative than the highly acclaimed summits in 08. The topics this year also build on the previous year’s insights, to provide an ongoing educational forum for senior change-agents from around the globe.
This is an event for people who are already making an impact in the world, and don’t find that normal conferences provide new insights or the right level of networking. Many participants are involved in a broad range of wide scale and global change initiatives, inside or outside large organizations.
Cam and I are planning to be there, let us know if you’re planning on attending.
