Wellington Leadership Group: Leadership & Life lessons from our brain – what does Neuroscience say about you?

What does Neuroscience say about the below? 

• Why does a colleague's feeling low/sad, make you sad too or maybe they are actually giggling – and you roll out in laughter too randomly, without know the reason? Ever wondered why?
• ‘Change’ is all around us currently esp. in Wellington – but ever wondered why is ‘Change’ sooo hard? 
• Why do we feel tired while learning or maybe when taking a brand-new route to somewhere we’re traveling to? 
• What is ‘brain-heart connection’? Is there more to a link between all these fancy terms of ‘Resilience’, ‘Well-being’ – and our actual physical health? 
• Is your brain still the same as what it was 10 years or 20 years ago or has something evolved?

Shweta is currently studying neuroleadership - applied neuroscience, and is passionate about emotions, energy, the brain-heart connection and how it transcends into our life experiences, both professionally and personally. Not just our own, but also for those around us.

Sheta also holds a Bachelors in Commerce and a PG in Public Relations, and has a strong background in corporate intercultural communications, employee engagement and capability development. Her true passion lies in mentoring and empowering others to achieve their full potential.
