WSCA Members, we have an exciting opportunity for you to start the new year by focusing on your mental health! Join Dr. Raj and a cohort of counselors in taking difficult scenarios at work or in life and using these challenges to activate different components of the higher brain to block the negative brain effects of people, situations, and thoughts. -Learn how to soothe the lower brain, which is linked to stress and survival, while stimulating the higher brain, which is the seat of creativity and critical thinking. -Increase tolerance for discomfort, equipping individuals to manage difficult conversations better and adapt to change. -Learn and employ a robust toolkit of “brain hacks” —practical methods based on neuroscience that can be applied to real-life challenges and meetings. This toolkit enables organizations to swiftly and effectively navigate and adapt to change, fostering a dynamic and resilient workplace culture. Dr. Raj’s brain-based methods have delivered measurable improvements in workplace well-being and productivity! At only $30 for six weeks, this is a great value for the expertise provided!
