AmCham Shanghai's Future Leaders Committee invites young professionals to a presentation by Eveline Goodman โ PhD Psychology & Neuroscience โ on why change is good for our well being and for unlocking our unique potential.
Using the building blocks of neuroscience, Eveline Goodman will illustrate how we all have unique levels of cognitive brain function and behavioral patterns that make up our individual skillsets and who we are. This uniqueness is so often overshadowed by the expectations and demands of our society to behave and work in a certain way. From birth, we are trained to use the safe and rational side of our left cognitive mind, and too infrequently draw on our creativity.
This presentation journeys through different concepts of "left-brain versus right-brain" over the centuries and how we have been programmed to prioritize IQ over EQ. Neuroplasticity teaches us that even as adults not everything is hard-wired: we can influence changes in the way our brains work. Eveline Goodman aims to show that as individuals we benefit from a balance between the different functions from both sides of our cognitive minds, and as teams and communities we benefit from encouraging the different strengths and qualities of individuals.
The event will also include a variety of workshops.
