Going Ape S#!t – The neuroscience of decision making

A humorous deep dive into how your brain navigates stressful situations, and explore practical ways to keep your reactive self in check and maximise opportunities with confidence!

Searching for new opportunities and making the best decisions regarding our future is often very emotional, fearful and stressful, and can often lead to decision paralysis. In the midst of unprecedented technological, social and employment change and uncertainty, now more than ever it is vitally essential to understand how our brain works and become more emotionally astute.  It is how well we navigate this emotional and stressful terrain that helps design our future. With all the opportunities that are being created everyday, we need an increased maturity of mindset to make the most of this new world and set ourselves up for future success.  Behavioural economist, psychologist, and author Phil Slade along with Decida co-founder Roshelle Weir will help us understand emotional intelligence, and deliver tangible benefits and insight into your own reactivity. The webinar is a guide to  becoming a master influencer and unfreezing decision-making paralysis.

Going Ape S#!t – ​​​​​​​Communicate with the brain in mind

The neuroscience of communication, negotiation and leadership

The digital revolution (accelerated by the COVID-19 epidemic) and rapidly changing social attitudes means that understanding, predicting, and influencing others behaviour has never been more important. During this thought provoking and highly practical  90 minute session, Psychologist and Behavioural Economist Phil Slade along with Decida co-founder Roshelle Weir, will go beyond emotional intelligence to explore the logic of how we think and how to quickly build empathy, trust and confidence with key people of influence.  Successfully influencing others, negotiating and driving outcomes is directly correlated with masterful communication skills (the timing, type, quality and order of content communicated). You will be introduced to the key psychological construct of APSI, which is a guide to how we rationally process information and how we can navigate complex situations without triggering people’s reactivity. Practical guides and tips sheets delivered in the session will ensure you can practically apply this insight into your everyday life and start seeing the benefits of APSI immediately.

Going Ape S#!t – ​​​​​​​Lead with Power

Taking communication and interpersonal connection to the next level. Nudging and designing environmental decision architecture.

In the previous webinars we have learned about your thrive mindset and your Ape threat state. In this event we turn our focus to the external environment, and how changing things in our physical world can make a big difference to our judgements and behaviours. Our attitudes, perception and behaviours are much more influenced by our physical environment, and our experience, than we think. By carefully designing the physical world around us, our decision architecture, we can positively influence individual and group behaviours and mindsets. During this thought provoking and highly practical 90 minute session, Psychologist and Behavioural Economist Phil Slade and Decida co-founder Roshelle Weir, will walk us through the basic concept of nudges and the difference between effective and ineffective nudging, and then look at some more advanced decision architecture techniques to help you lead yourself, and others, with power.
