Comments from delegates There is something new to learn for most technical authors who are in the early stages of their career. Overall, I would say that the course did benefit me, and I can see myself revisiting parts of it in the future. Emma W., ARM plc I attended a job interview which included a written exercise where I had to jot down how I would go about designing and presenting information for the users of the service unit I was applying to. I could not believe my luck, it was as if the interviewer had designed it with the contents of this course in mind, and, as a result, I got the job! Amber A. I thought it was an excellent course – very thought-provoking and useful. The exercises were enjoyable and really helped, far beyond simply reading from a book about the tasks involved in the job. And I greatly appreciate all your advice and support. Karl D. Thank you very much for all your feed-back – I’ve been reading through this as it has come in this morning.

Image Caption Your Master Mentor: Prof Paul Brown Applied neuroscientist, Prof Paul Brown introduces his General Theory on Individuals and Organisations in this ground-breaking program on how to create a 21st century sustainable organisation. Prof Paul Brown briefly introduces the 'Brain and Behaviour in Organisations': Applied neuroscience is going to be the need-to-know basis for anyone interested in human behaviour in organisations. Understanding how the brain is the master controller of everything we do, the role our emotions play in that and the Limbic Leadership qualities we need to adopt to self-regulate ourselves and tune in to those of our team. Course Content In this eight-part program, Prof Brown introduces you to how the brain is actually the central controller of everything we do. And how our increasing knowledge of the neurosciences can help us mobilise that knowledge in organisations. In the program Paul will introduce you to the idea that it is not our Thinking system that drives everything we do but our Emotions. We want to develop an understanding of how to create the relationships where people bring their best to the organisation. We're introduce the London Protocol of the Emotions, a working model of how it all happens. And discuss the differences and benefits of male and female energy. How can you lead and mobilise the best in both men and women in organisations in order to actually get the diversity that male and female brains bring. How can we manage stress and pressure better in the 21st Century Sustainable Organisation. The program looks at the Yerkes -Dodson law which tells us a great deal about how stress impairs performance. But most of all, we want to fascinate and excite interest in you about this remarkable organ that at last, we're beginning to understand join us if you can.
