Adapting your behaviour for growth
Workshop, Brighton Summit, Friday 16 October
Do you need a specific type of personality to be successful in business? Have you got what it takes? In this session psychologist Karen Pine will show how anyone can develop the right kind of behavioural toolkit to cope with the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and be equipped for success.
Most people have a set of traits that dominate how they behave, but we don't have to define ourselves by these limited characteristics. Neuroscience has proved that your brain can change at any age. By learning new behaviours – or becoming more behaviourally flexible – you have more choice over how you react to different situations. You’ll find it easier to cope with what life throws at you and more able to spot opportunities. To be really successful in business - and in life - we have to develop our behavioural flexibility. Behavioural flexibility is like having a toolkit that you go through life with. Sometimes that means behaving in ways that goes against your natural tendency – to take the brain down a different track. This interactive workshop will show you how to uncover your own behavioural repertoire, and to identify where you need to flex. You'll learn about some of the skills and tools you need to do this and see how, by using the Do Something Different techniques, you can be less stressed, more effective and up for almost anything.
Led by Karen Pine, Professor of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire and co-founder of Brighton-based Do Something Different Ltd.
