I have always been fascinated with the human brain. I enjoy reading research studies about it in relation to the workplace. I admit it; I actually enjoy leadership workshops dedicated to the subject! I am amazed by what has been learned about the brain in the past ten years. Did you know that recent findings show the brain is much more social than was thought in the past? For example, I can focus all day long on being very task oriented, but according to the research, I still need interaction with others to be able to be as productive as possible.
It is the time of year when executive leaders begin planning for the next yearâs business and corporate growth. Sometimes we do this through retreats, leadership workshops, or team building exercises. As part of my personal planning process, I recently participated in a 21-day program conducted by Champions Edge. I began the program with a specific goal in mind. I was responsible for reporting to my accountability partners daily regarding the progress toward my goal. The group consisted of four executives whom I now consider peers and friends. Although I made significant progress toward my goal and tasks to complete it, I was surprised by the unexpected personal development that came with the program.
