Spark & Juice Intensive
Practicing a new standard of business fitness

A 90 minute introduction to a new standard of business fitness

Put brain chemistry to work on your behalf
Be smarter, less stressed, and enjoy more from every transaction

Friday, Jan. 28
9:00AM - 5:00PM
Downtown Portland

What if working with you were the best part of peoples' week?
What if you and those around you could feel naturally rejuvenated from your exchanges?
This fun, challenging workshop will practice how to work better with your own brain as well as those around you.

You've never needed to know how the brain works before. Why is it important now?
Good business always begs for fresh thinking, but the ongoing stress and uncertainty of our current economy puts the brain at a disadvantage at a moment when we
need ingenuity more than ever.  New insights from Neuroscience provide practices for optimizing the kind of intelligence that business demands, while naturally invigorating ourselves and everyone we work with.  

What you'll learn
We'll demystify key brain functions that business relies on such as:

• Engaging attention and optimizing receptivity and responsiveness
• Using questions to foster participation and spark intelligence
• Understanding how stress impacts the brain, and learning to minimize its costly effects
• Working with the brain's hard-wiring to increase the pleasure of doing business with you, and with it the value of your every move.

Business can feel as good as sex and chocolate?

This event is co-produced with The Link. Reservations are limited to 21. We suggest you register as soon as possible.

• Focus on the key questions for your business. 50% of the day is practical. Participants choose challenges for practice and leave with concrete applications.

Topics will include:

• Catalyzing curiosity and discovery as ongoing states.
• Using questions to spark intelligence and ingenuity.
