COURSES

Learning to face change to make the most of every opportunity: changing is the big challenge of our time, but to do it it’s important to learn to overcome one’s resistances. Through self-knowledge, knowing how the brain works, thanks to neurosciences, it is possible to better understand how to change oneself and why.

Throughout the course particular emphasis will be placed on the development of a coherent language that allows participants to represent, understand, and tackle the main aspects of organizational life. The course contents can be traced to the following generic areas: the individual, individuals and relations, groups, relations between groups, personnel management tools, organizations and new organizational structures.

The challenge of innovation passes through people. To create business innovation we need conscious leaders, able to facilitate the work of heterogeneous teams and get the most out of people both in terms of problem finding and change making. In the course, starting from what the neurosciences have taught us about how people “work”, we are going to decline an innovative way of people management that can help us, even at cross-cultural level, to improve the drivers of performance.

INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL SESSIONS – Working in increasingly uncertain markets, with a constantly increasing level of pressure on people, makes it necessary to develop new skills such as managing emotions.

The course introduces the discipline of Emotional Intelligence, which is based on neuro-scientific evidence and allows the rational and emotional sides to interact better, improving results and well-being.

To do this, it is first necessary to understand how the brain works, in order to increase awareness and apply it at a managerial level, so as to implement behaviours that enable sustainable performance.

The course also shows what facilitates change in people and then focuses on ‘Change MA.P.’, a managerial process developed to drive change with emotional intelligence. In this way, you will learn tools and strategies for successful change management.

INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL SESSIONS – Change is now the “new normal”. Unfortunately, many times we think that explaining logically what will happen and what to do is enough to ensure successful change management. Scientific evidence shows, however, how the transformation of emotions is the real operational key for learning. To be effective, our models must be brain-based, therefore also covering the emotional aspects. In the session, in addition to seeing what facilitates change in people, we will ground these concepts with Change MA.P. a managerial process developed to drive change with emotional intelligence.

Working in a global, uncertain and complex world requires a new managerial play book that allows you to bring together agile organizations and people’s engagement. In the course, starting from what neurosciences have taught us about how people “work”, we will decline an innovative way of people management that can help us, even at the cross-cultural level, to improve the drivers of the performance.
