How do you plan for the future when you're more uncertain than ever about what that future looks like? How do we keep each other striving for that finish line when we've lost sight of it in a fog of anxiety, ambiguity, and doubt? People tend to see change as threatening. We crave certainty and tend to avoid change as much as possible. When we can't, we become focused on all the ways change puts our safety in jeopardy, which shuts down our cognitive functions and kills our performance. In this episode of Your Brain at Work LIVE, Andrea LaBarbera (Head of Global Talent and Engagement, Zimmer Biomet) joins Dr. David Rock (NLI CEO and co-founder), and Rachel Cardero (NLI Vice President of Consulting) to discuss how Zimmer Biomet focused on their people to continue building their strategic road map, pillars, and guiding principles throughout the COVID-19 pandemic — and how we can learn to become nimble, resilient, and deliberate in the face of uncertainty today.

What does the future hold for your organization? And what are you doing to define that legacy? Tumultuous times are a challenge all their own. But, in preparing for them and navigating through them, it’s important to remember that, thanks to where we’ve been, we’re more prepared to handle them than ever before. This week on Your Brain at Work LIVE, Dr. David Rock (NLI CEO and co-founder) and Tina Drews (Salt River Project Director of Talent), discuss how, through an illuminating partnership with the NeuroLeadership Institute, Salt River Project focused on supporting the needs of their teams to develop the psychologically safe climate that equipped them even further to face crisis head-on in the present and through the future.

Talent leaders know that people programs make the best impact when everyone aligns to a shared goal — yet many struggle to get deep buy-in from company leadership. This hurdle can spell trouble for learning, development, and other talent initiatives, especially amid economic uncertainty.In this episode, we explore actionable insights for getting the CEO — and the whole leadership board — on board with your talent initiatives.

Now, we aid millions in practicing shared everyday habits that turn challenges into opportunities and problems into progress. In this episode of #YourBrainAtWorkLive, Dr. David Rock connects with Ryan Curl, Ph.D. (Researcher, NLI) to explore how the science of resilience, motivation and learning can equip leaders to build "genius cultures" where people are primed to thrive.
