Great leaders aren’t born — they’re built. Advances in neuroscience have shown that the brain continues to change and grow throughout life, meaning that leadership abilities such as emotional intelligence, decision-making, and resilience can be intentionally developed. By understanding and applying the science of neuroplasticity, leaders can rewire habits, strengthen adaptability, and unlock higher levels of performance — both for themselves and their teams.
Join Eileen Filliben, J.D., M.B.A, a leadership strategist and consultant, for an interactive workshop that blends the latest research on how the brain learns and adapts with proven practices from the field of leadership development. You’ll explore how mindset, attention, and behavior shape neural pathways — and how to leverage that knowledge to lead with greater clarity, agility, and purpose.
