Are You Fit to Thrive in Any Economy?

2009 was a tough year, and 2010 isn’t likely to be any easier.  Unfortunately, for many of us, and our nearest and dearest, this recession is driving a crisis of confidence: not knowing if or how we can find ways to thrive.

Can you rest in the knowledge
that you’ll generate high-integrity value, no matter what is going on around you?

This one-day workshop provides new perspectives, new skills, and new practices, based on a fresh synthesis of Business Anthropology, Neuroscience, and the Martial Arts.  You won’t master it in 1 day, but you’ll see the map, apply it, and take several practice steps.

We humans come naturally to trading with each other. Commerce is as old as the first human community; exchanging and the brain evolved together.   But the fact is that the adult brain doesn’t much like change, and certainly is not geared to the stresses of ongoing recession.  The demands of the modern marketplace often appear formidable.

Practice the 6 Master Moves™ that make it feel easy and natural

to navigate in a shifting world of business.  You’ll spend half your time applying new skills to your current work life.   You’ll learn how to build more valuable exchanges, and distinguish where and how to best invest your energy.  You’ll leave with a different interpretation of your challenges in this recession, and you’ll see that you bring a lot to the game.

Fit to Thrive in Any Economy is readily customized for organizations and management teams. Contact Marsha Shenk at 503 265 8704 or email marsha@bestwork.biz to explore how it might fit your business.   

 

One-day workshop
Sparking Neuroplasticity, Curiosity, and Ingenuity

Does your enterprise have the brain power to navigate new business realities?

Are you leading customers, employees, and suppliers to embrace new realities, and sustain curiosity and resourcefulness?
Are you minimizing stress and fear, and using uncertainty as a catalyst for ingenuity?

Use insights from Neuroscience to make your people smarter and more responsive.

  • You've never needed to know about neuroscience before. Why is it important now? The business environment begs for fresh thinking, but the brain's response to fear and uncertainty is often to shut down inquiry and innovation.
  • We'll demystify key brain functions that business relies on. Learn how to engage attention, and optimize receptivity and responsiveness.
  • 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.
  • Illuminating how stress impacts the brain, and learning practices to minimize its costly effects.
  • We can bring 1 day, half-day , or 2-hour or modules to your organization.
