The pace of today’s change is pushing the limits of even the most nimble organizations. Change occurs in a myriad of ways from shifting technology to reorganizing functions to seeking new customers and operating globally. And no matter the size, every change requires new learning. Recent discoveries in neuroscience illuminate how we learn, respond to change and ways we can maximize both flexibility and resilience.

In this session, Dr. Britt Andreatta will share the latest discoveries about the brain, and how to harness human biology to reduce resistance to change and change fatigue. Author of Wired to Resist and Leading Change, she will provide key principles that maximizes the brain’s capacity to learn and embrace change. Leave this interactive session with new strategies for intentionally building the professional capacity of people across all functions of your organization.
