Humans are the most important asset for organisations. Despite technological advances changing -even improving – our lives and our jobs, it’s all for nothing without humans at the core.
Jo Ellen Grzyb and Sarah Creevey discuss the latest neuroscience studies that focus on the plasticity of the brain (an organ that is far more nimble and agile than any software or app) and how people learn.
It’s all about motivation and upping the ante to absorb new information - and allowing emotions to be expressed. It’s about providing lots of opportunities to practice and to build on what we already do well - all of which create associations that stick. This is precisely Impact Factory’s training method since 1991, now fully backed by neuroscience.Impact Factory

Humans are pattern making ‘machines’ if you will. We do a lot of things by rote for very good reasons. Our bodies are made up of interlinking ‘systems’ and those systems operate through patterns that we never ever think about….until we are ill. When we are ill it’s because one of those systems is out of whack. Our lives are governed by patterns so that we don’t have to re-learn things every time we want to do them.
That’s the upside of patterns: they make our lives so much easier.
The possible downside of patterns is mindlessness: we do things so much by rote that we are barely aware we are doing them anymore.
Mindfulness takes practise and the rewards are truly worth it. Less stress, less anxiety, a happier outlook, a healthier body, a more peaceful, calmer inner life.
Learn a few tips to help you become more mindful in this podcast with Jo Ellen Grzyb, Tom Bodell and Sarah Dawrant.

Negotiation is a game and those who enjoy playing are the best negotiators by far.
Calling a game might make it sound frivolous; negotiation can be serious stuff. That's one of the things at the top that make negotiating such a trial- it can feel like a life or death, do or die, last man standing kind of thing, which puts huge pressure on the negotiator to get it right, get what they want, get the desired outcome.
However, like any other game, negotiation has rules easy to lean and use. Listen to our latest podcast with our experts, Jo Ellen Grzyb, Simon Westwood and Caitlin Shannon, and discover some useful tricks.
