What is the brain state model? And how can we use it for our success?
A while back, I attended Sarah Baca’s Brain State Model talk at the Agile 2015 Conference and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to take away from the discussion how I could best communicate and collaborate with a team in different environmental situations.
There are 3 brain states: the survival, the emotional, and the executive. And there are different reasons why some people are using different parts of their brains vs others. And there are different ways to work with individuals in these brain states.
Sarah will be discussing:
- What the brain state model is
- How we can use the brain state model to become better team members
- How to move from survival state (Am I safe?) to the executive state (How can I learn from this?)
- Tools you can use today to help you move from your survival brain into executive brain
