Learning Objectives
- Develop and embrace brain-healthy leadership skills
- Build a mindset for intrapersonal growth and resiliency
- Learn powerful yet simple exercises to enhance your brain’s neuroplasticity
- How to build a growth mindset within your organization that drives engagement and empowers innovation

Trauma-Informed Leadership: Promoting Well-Being in the Workplace
Research shows 1/2 to 2/3 of our population has experienced a recent trauma exposure. Many of these exposures have been at the hands of poor leadership; the misuse of power and control.

Trauma-informed leadership involves recognizing and understanding the impact of trauma exposures on individuals, while working to create safe, supportive environments for them to thrive. Once leaders understand the impact trauma can have on their employees, they should create policies and procedures that align with core principles
Learning Objectives
- Define trauma-informed leadership.
- Discuss examples of trauma and its impact on employees.
- Explore the guiding principles of a trauma-informed approach

Why Fun Should Matter to Leaders
Active engagement in the workplace has dropped to 23% (Gallup 2023). Leaders around the world try to solve this problem with incentives, feedback, team building, and work-life balance seminars. More attuned leaders consider the psychology of Flow Theory. Flow, a famous concept by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, explains how humans do or do not experience engagement. It explains how and why we get “in the zone” and is a major factor in whether we bring our whole selves to our work or just go through the motions. Flow has served as a theoretical framework for many leaders and consultants, particularly facilitators, however, in 2005, game designer and entrepreneur Raph Koster made the connection that Fun and Flow are inseparably tied together in his book “A Theory of Fun for Game Design.” In this session, we will discuss the traditional tenants of flow theory, including the balance of skill and challenge when performing work tasks. We will also incorporate the discoveries related to flow that come from more traditional “fun” like playing games. Through discussion and activities, we will find out how a little fun at work can actually improve performance, and that work can be fun without silly gimmicks.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the theory and benefits of Flow
- Implement at least one fun activity into their work or team
- Appraise whether they are experiencing Flow or fun in their work
