As a leader, your biggest daily resource is your brain.  And the biggest resource of your company or organisation is your people.

Understanding how the brain works, especially how it processes communication, allows leaders to optimise the neurochemistry of conversations to create environments of trust and cooperation, commitment and collaboration with their people.

Conversations trigger chemical reactions in the brain, and this chemistry either closes us down or opens us up to further sharing and engagement. When we trigger fear or anxiety in another, the part of their brain responsible for protection and defensiveness takes control.

Knowing how to calm fear in ourselves and others allows the prefrontal cortex – your Smart Brain – to engage with others to create mutually successful outcomes.

Virginia Huupponen helps leaders, professionals and business owners navigate the neurochemistry of conversation to enhance their interactions and strengthen relationships.

Her workshops and seminars provide simple, proven conversational tools and frameworks that enable you to clarify goals, elevate performance and generate powerful work-cultures of transparency, understanding and trust – both within your organisation and with your customers.

Connect with Virginia today and explore how you can unleash your Smart Brain and take yourself and your business to the next level.
