Why study neuroscience of leadership?Many organisations are currently operating with tired, outdated management models and, while leaders may acknowledge this is the case, they often don’t know what to do about it. New insights about human motivation and behavior are emerging at a staggering rate – much of which reveals what works in business and organisations, what doesn’t, and why. A diploma in neuroscience of leadership will position you to make the most of this unfolding knowledge.

Neuroscience will transform the way you lead.

Who are our students?The Diploma of Neuroscience of Leadership will benefit any person who is interested in improving their leadership capability.

Our students have included Australian and international:• team leaders• senior managers• executive coaches• business development managers• learning and development managers• organisational development professionals• human resource managers• CEO’s, executives• project risk managers• hospitality professionals

What will you learn?The diploma of neuroscience of leadership equips you with new knowledge about the most important insights that have emerged from the neuroscience field and why they matter for great leadership. We take this knowledge and translate it into what it means for brain-friendly leadership.

In the course, we refer to the latest evidence to emerge from neuroscience, neuroleadership, interpersonal neurobiology, neuroeonomics, and positive psychology and share new models that operate with the brain in mind.

In this contemporary leadership program you will understand:

• Why emotions are contagious

• Why decision making is not rational

• Why multitasking is a myth and is deadly to productivity

• How to manage your attention and focus

• How to create conditions for being in flow

• Why we are seeing an engagement crisis and what to do about it

• Why focusing on the problem often makes it worse

• Why brainstorming doesn’t work

• Where and when your best insights occur

• Why telling people what to do doesn’t work

• Why current performance management models don’t work

• The keys to changing mindsets in teams and organisations

Nationally accredited The Diploma is a nationally accredited course in Australia and all qualificiations and certificates are issued by our sister company MRT (51680).

Delivered online over 9 months

Course begins with an introduction to neuranatomy and neurophysiology.

Followed by four study periods.

Each study period consists of:

Six modules released every Friday

Weekly contributions to six online discussion forums

Three 1-hour study calls to interact with other students

1 x one-on-one telephone session with course facilitator (after each study block)

Online Course Topic AreasNeuroscience of self-regulation

Explore the biological processes associated with arousal, areas of the brain involved in self-regulation and the role of attentional intelligence in regulating emotions and attention. Develop your capacity to support your own self-regulation and assist those you lead to self-regulate through labelling, reappraisal, perspective taking, mindfulness and attention regulation.

Neuroscience of problem solving and decision making

Investigate the key areas of the brain involved in decision making and problem solving and the insights that have emerged around decision fatigue, multi-tasking and the role that emotions and memory play in decision making. Develop your capacity to make better decisions and create the conditions for insight for self and others to operate in a world that pays leaders to be great thinkers.

Neuroscience of collaboration and engagement

Delve into the concept of the brain as a social organ and the social needs that influence our willingness and capacity to engage or collaborate with others. While we are biolog-ically programed to connect with others, engagement is a choice to be made. Leaders set the engagement climate and support motivation in the workplace. Develop your capacity to create a positive and meaningful engagement experience in your workplace.

Neuroscience of facilitating sustainable change

Explore the concept of neuroplasticity and how hard it is for change to stick. While we are operating in a period of unprecedented change, our brains hate change. Develop your capacity to facilitate neuroplasticity and rewire the individual and collective mindsets of those you work with. Explore new ways of setting goals and facilitating change with the brain in mind.
