SUMMARY:Why the Brain Follows: Transform Leadership\, Beat
  Burnout with Neuroscience- August 19 IN-PERSON WO
 RKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:The promise is simple: your leaders will see somet
 hing about stress and burnout that was sitting in 
 their own experience the whole time — and wonder h
 ow they missed it.\n \n \n \n That recognition is 
 where change starts. When leaders understand that 
 their own behavior is a primary driver of their te
 am’s stress — and that small\, specific shifts can
  reverse it — they have something most burnout int
 erventions never provide: a lever they actually co
 ntrol. The organizations that address burnout at i
 ts source\, rather than asking employees to cope w
 ith it\, are the ones that hold onto their people.
 \n \n \n \n Learning Objectives\n \n \n \n \n 	How
  stress spreads from leader to team — the neurosci
 ence of social contagion and why one leader’s beha
 vior can activate the threat response across an en
 tire organization.\n 	The stress-leadership viciou
 s cycle — how chronic stress degrades the exact br
 ain functions leaders need most: decision-making\,
  emotional regulation\, and social connection.\n 	
 The 5 safety signals — the specific conditions the
  brain scans for before it decides an environment 
 is safe. Leaders will learn how to create these sa
 fety signals and how they accidentally destroy the
 m.\n 	Practical tools to break the cycle — science
 -backed shifts in how leaders communicate\, respon
 d under pressure\, and structure their teams. Thes
 e are the specific behaviors that lower a team’s b
 aseline stress and protect against the disengageme
 nt that precedes turnover.\n 	Why resilience train
 ing backfires — the biology behind why “toughing i
 t out” accelerates burnout instead of preventing i
 t.\n \n \n Because the underlying biology operates
  wherever humans interact\, leaders consistently r
 eport applying these tools beyond the workplace — 
 with their teams\, their families\, and themselves
 . That durability matters: content that gets remem
 bered and applied is content that actually changes
  how people lead\, long after the session ends. Th
 e mechanisms stick because they’re real\, not beca
 use they’re motivational.\n \n \n \n The session w
 ill be hosted in the Twin Cities (location TBD) fr
 om 9:00-Noon\; materials included and light snacks
  offered throughout. Dr. Wu will be available from
  12:00-12:30pm for Q&A. \n \n \n \n Investment is 
 $325 for members ($650 for non-members).  Discount
 s available for teams of 3-4 from the same organiz
 ation registering at the same time ($300) as well 
 as teams of 5+ ($275). \n \n
