GLOBAL LEARNING FOR A GLOBAL AUDIENCE How You Will Stand to Benefit as an Organisation The skills taught in this course will help you operate on the metacognitive level so that you can think about the process of your thinking. The human brain is the universal tool by which we understand ourselves and the universe in which we live. By understanding the nature of human cognition and the methods of thinking clearly and critically, we can avoid common errors and make the best use of our minds. Learning benefits as reported by previous course attendees include: This course explores what is called metacognition: thinking about thinking itself. Understanding how everything we think we see, hear, and experience is not a direct recording of the outside world; instead, it is a construction. Understanding that information is filtered, distorted, compared, and confabulated— ultimately to be woven into a narrative that fits our assumptions about the business decisions we make. How our brains have other interesting strengths and weaknesses that can further inform our thinking, like how we are generally very good at pattern recognition. Understanding that many of us are inherently poor at probability and statistics, and this innumeracy opens us up to deception and errors in thinking. Perhaps our greatest weakness is our susceptibility to delusion, the ability to hold a false belief against all evidence. Who Benefits from this Course? This course is appropriate for anyone in business or government. People necessarily make decisions and are called on to solve problems every day.

Management Thinking Skills Training Building Brain Fitness How to Optimise Your Brain’s Power All programs are designed, written and produced to your organisation’s specific requirements. What You Will Learn You can increase the power of your brain through your effort. Your brain's ability to change in response to experience—called plasticity—is the key to understanding your mind's development. The good news is that no matter how old you are, you can still take an active part in influencing brain plasticity. The brain is dependent on your experiences and continues to evolve throughout your life. If you wish to improve your brainpower, it's necessary to understand how it works. In this course, you will learn how the brain is organised, how it develops, and how messages are transmitted through the brain's electrochemical pathways. Neuroscientists like to say that "cells that fire together wire together." Think of brain circuits like friendships: Those that are maintained and enriched will endure, while those that are neglected disappear. The course also studies how intelligence is not something like eye colour that you're born with and cannot change—it is a dynamic process that can be favourably influenced by choices you make. You will learn that attention—also referred to as focus and concentration—must be rock solid in order to marshal the effort needed to improve your brain's performance. You will learn that if any piece of information can be instantly retrieved via a Google search, then why bother to remember it? Because the act of remembering something facilitates the activation and retention of circuits within the brain that contribute to the brain's optimal functioning. Over-reliance on electronic information aids can result in a disuse atrophy of your memory powers, but this atrophy can be overcome by deliberate efforts to improve memory. Deliberate practice is the key to improving performance and creativity in all areas of human endeavour, including work and play. By challenging your brain to learn new information throughout your life, you build up cognitive reserve. The more you have accumulated over your lifetime, the less susceptible you will be to deficits in your later years. In general, the more education and knowledge people acquire over their lifetime, the less likely they are in their later years to be diagnosed with dementia. In this practical course, you'll learn what steps you can take in your own life to enhance your brain function. Every one of our training programs is uniquely designed and tailored to meet your specific circumstances and objectives. Topic Menu includes but is not limited to: How Your Brain Works. How Your Brain Changes. Creativity and the Playful Brain. Focusing Your Attention. Enhancing Your Memory. Exercising Your Working Memory. Putting Your Senses to Work. Enlisting Your Emotional Memory. Practicing for Peak Performance. Taking Advantage of Technology. Building Your Cognitive Reserve. 50
