Shifting to a human-centric workplace requires a deeper understanding of how the social brain influences team dynamics, resilience, and individual potential. This keynote explores how neuroscience can inform strategies to foster cohesion, empathy, and open communication within organizations, while promoting mental health, flexibility, and balance. Participants will leave with actionable insights to build workplaces that empower people and maximize human potential.
