A MUST WATCH Understanding the Impact of Stress Cortisol, widely recognized as the primary stress hormone, plays a pivotal role in our physical and emotional well-being. The stress levels of individuals, particularly those in leadership roles, can have a profound effect not only on their health but also on the morale and productivity of their teams. Leaders and CEOs carry the immense responsibility of steering their organizations towards success. However, when their stress levels are unchecked, it doesn't just diminish their own effectiveness – it also drains the energy of everyone around them. This cascading effect can lead to a workplace environment that hampers innovation, collaboration, and overall performance.

Great article by Caugant Alan… This is an insightful perspective of how leaders can adopt behaviors that improve their brain 🧠 ⚡️ functions & their abilities…

Did you know that in 1991 scientists discovered that the heart has its own “little brain” or “intrinsic cardiac nervous system?” This “heart brain” is composed of approximately 40,000 neurons that are similar to the neurons in the brain. However, our heart neurons think, feel and experience differently than the neurons in the brain.    In other words, our heart has an intelligence all its own. Even more interesting is that our heart’s intelligence has a very powerful influence over how we think, feel, and ultimately ~ how we behave.   Even more recently scientists have learned how to create a coherent system between the heart and the brain and that when we do that we can produce physiological coherence resulting in incredible increases in cognitive performance, athletic performance, sleep, and even the effective functioning of our immune system. At InteraWorks we believe in sharing the heArt and science of producing results in our leadership development programs and keynotes.

How to work more efficiently, according a neuroscientist

Ever feel like you're working hard but not achieving your best?   Many leaders often feel stuck, unable to reach their full potential. Flow state is the way, natural and effective.   This struggle often stems from cognitive dissonance, which can significantly impact performance.   At our recent rebrand launch, Anuj Ankala introduced an innovative "Brain Depth" program to tackle this issue head-on with practical, science-backed techniques.   A key element of this program is Brain Stimuli, a set of exercises designed to enhance the control of cognitive functions in the brain.   These exercises help overcome mental blocks and achieve peak performance.   Brain Stimuli and other "Brain Depth" methods offer real value by improving cognitive abilities and efficiency.   Thank you, Anuj, for showcasing this transformative program and guiding us toward an efficient future. #personalgrowth #professionaldevelopment #productivity

Steve Jobs' famous 10-minute rule – walking away from tough problems – is now backed by neuroscience as a key to unlocking creative solutions. 🧠 Brain boost with movement: Neuroscientist Mithu Storoni explains that taking a walk shifts your brain into a more open, creative state, perfect for solving complex problems. 🚶♂️ Break mental blocks: Walking helps you avoid obsessing over one idea, allowing your mind to explore different solutions without being stuck in frustration. 🏞️ Engage lightly: As you walk, your brain stays alert by lightly focusing on your surroundings, which prevents mental fatigue while still fostering creativity. 🔍 Proven by innovators: From Steve Jobs to Charles Darwin, many successful thinkers have used walking as a tool for better thinking and problem-solving. #Innovation #ProductivityHacks #Leadership 🌟 Maximize brain efficiency: When you're stuck for 10 minutes, step away and let your brain work smarter, not harder. 🌱 Follow in the footsteps of greatness: The benefits of walking aren't just backed by science but practiced by some of history's greatest minds. 💡 A neuroscience-backed hack: Elevate your problem-solving abilities by simply stepping away from your desk. ♻️ Repost if you enjoyed this, and follow me for more curated content about leadership! https://lnkd.in/gE-afGjc

Many of my work on clients' cognitive performance come from Physical Intelligence. BUT have you wondered: WHAT IS physical intelligence? To me, physical intelligence is like the guidebook we missed out on in college. It offers a comprehensive view of our body's communication system, shedding light on why we behave the way we do in different situations. This knowledge unveils the power of our emotions on our physiology, ultimately influencing our actions. Once we grasp this chain reaction, we realize that our presence and performance are within our control. By adjusting our movements, breathing patterns, visualizations, and thought processes, we can profoundly alter the trajectory of our leadership journey. Ready to explore the depths of physical intelligence? Follow us for more smart health guides and discover how understanding yourself better can transform your life.
