Lecture: The Brain, Stress, and Transformations

A presentation on how stress and brain mechanisms influence well-being and organizational transformation

Format: Lecture

Duration: 1–2 hours

Participants: Unlimited

Time & Place: By arrangement

Description

Workplace transformations require learning new knowledge and establishing new routines. The brain and nervous system continuously adjust previous expectations to create predictability and a sense of control – an optimal basis for well-being, balance, and social openness.

This lecture provides insight into:

• The positive role of stress as a resource during change, experienced as increased arousal and elevated heart rate

• How individual stress responses depend on personal experience

• Negative, harmful stress that arises when challenges remain unresolved or stress is prolonged

• How employees’ nervous systems react differently to transformations, and how this knowledge can be used to reduce distress and sick leave

Participant feedback:
“I applied some of the learning from your lecture in a client workshop, and it was received extremely well. Once again, thank you for providing facts and logical explanations for some of the challenging aspects of transformation.”
