Today’s leaders have to be nimble thinkers who understand and can access all types of thinking—analytical as well as interpersonal, methodical as well as visionary. And they have to know when and how to harness different thinking approaches to get the best results.

Yet even as we hear more about brain research in the context of workplace performance, many struggle with making those concepts actionable in the real-world business environment.

Ann Herrmann-Nehdi’s concurrent session at the ASTD 2012 International Conference & Exposition will provide you with a practical way to build the “brain bandwidth” of your leaders.

Learn how to optimize leaders’ performance by leveraging the brain’s different thinking styles so they can consistently outthink, outpace and outperform in today’s world. This engaging session will bring lofty brain research down to earth, giving you an easy-to-understand framework you can quickly apply to increase your leaders’ thinking agility and overall effectiveness.

Ann consistently ranks among the highest-rated speakers at ASTD. You won’t want to miss this session! You’ll get hands-on experience with practical models and best practices from IBM, Cirque du Soleil, Ultimate Software, Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System and others.
