Listen Later

Today in our episode we’re talking nature-infused meetings with Janet Sperstad, educator, innovator and Director of the Meeting and Event Management Programme at Madison College, USA. This episode is all about human DNA and the hormones of leadership. Who knew there was such a thing? You’ll learn some fascinating facts about DNA and how to change your hormones to give you a leadership edge, including the importance of our innate connection to the natural world:

  • Human DNA is only different by 1 – 2% across the world’s entire population – we are all ONE ecosystem and we are all instinctively connected to nature (Biophilic Hypothesis – E O Wilson)
  • Why we all need to understand how dopamine, cortisol and oxytocin affect us – and how to control them
  • Our brains don’t know and don’t care if we’re in nature OR looking at a representation of nature – great news for event planners!
  • What’s the hormone profile of a great leader. Is there a perfect mix?
  • Why oxytocin is your secret weapon (women!) and how to manage it for your best advantage
  • Leadership is a social game. What does that mean?
  • HBR – Podcast 699 – What Great Coaching Looks Like with Richard Boyatzis, Professor at Case Western Reserve University
  • The importance of the superman pose plus washing your hands and taking three deep breaths. Ahhhhhhhhhhh
