How Global Organizations Move DE&I Forward -- with Elizabeth Nelson, Jennifer Amara, Michaela Simpson, and Paulette Gerkovich

In organizations around the world, leaders are facing a deluge of urgent issues: a crisis in employee engagement, the need to make workforces more diverse, and the challenge of making workplaces feel human in an era of increasing dependence on technology and remote communication.
At the NeuroLeadership Institute, we believe brain science can help provide solutions. Join us on Your Brain At Work, the official podcast of the NeuroLeadership Institute — where top researchers and thought leaders share breakthroughs in brain science and industry leaders reveal the strategies behind their success.

By helping them understand how the brain works, we equip leaders with the tools to transform their organizations — building new habits and changing how people work, communicate, and make decisions. Combining research and practice, brain science and business leadership, Your Brain at Work explores how insights from the lab can provide solutions that work across industries and at any scale.

Season 1 guests include broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien; Dean Carter, Director of Human Resources, Finance, Legal, Shared Services at Patagonia; Deb Bubb, Vice President of Learning and Inclusion at IBM; and FD Wilder, Senior Vice President of Go-To-Market Strategy and Innovation at Procter & Gamble.

Join our Co-founder and CEO, Dr. David Rock, and Probir Das, Group Executive Officer at Terumo APAC, to be inspired by the journey of this global leader in medical devices. Terumo has been in operation for over 100 years and in 2022, embarked on a global journey in partnership with the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) to activate the power of an organisation-wide growth mindset.


Probir Das has been a strong advocate of the initiative and strongly believes it helped him personally and professionally. Within the Asia-Pacific region, Probir took it a step further: he has operationalised the NLI game-changing Growth Mindset framework by creating a 'Seed fund' dedicated to experimentation, and he constantly encourages the team to innovate.

Learn how Terumo has developed 400 prototypes so far since the implementation of NLI's GROW. They have also adopted a 'Mistakes Learned Award' and 'Peer learning teams' to constantly value progress, which includes both failures and wins.

The Neuroscience of Habit Activation: From LMS, to LXP, to HAP

Seemingly overnight, Artificial Intelligence has taken workplaces around the world by storm. But while there's tremendous excitement about the potential this rapidly evolving tool might unlock, there's also trepidation — and perhaps there should be. Even as we begin to integrate AI into our everyday routines, questions remain about the underlying biases that may influence technology and its adoption.

In this special episode of Your Brain at Work, published to coincide with a presentation — delivered by Janet M. Stovall, our Global Head of DEI, and Matt Summers, our Global Head of Culture and Leadership — at the Society for Human Resource Management's Talent Conference and Expo, they examine the emergence of AI through the lens of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — this time focusing on breaking bias.

Why Delegation is So Hard, and How to Get it Right

Is it time for the pendulum to swing back toward a focus on performance and less on people?

 
Many CEO’s today feel the pendulum has swung too far toward the employee, and cringe when they hear about increasing psychological safety.

 

Are they right, or are they missing something important here? Are these two ideas in opposition? Is it possible to truly have one without the other?
 
Join Dr. Amy Edmondson and Dr. David Rock as they robustly debate these and other important questions.
