World changing place • Employment will be different and unknown • So we will now need to demonstrate broad portfolio of personal and professional capabilities to engage effectively with others to create value
Learning requires: • Brain • Motivation • Emotional intelligence
The understanding of how our brain works and how we learn is changing!
Emotional style: Consistent way of responding to the experiences of our lives. It is governed by specific, identifiable brain circuits and can be measured using objective laboratory methods.
Emotional style comprises 6 dimensions. They reflect the discoveries of modern neuro-scientific research: • Resilience : how slowly or quickly you recover from adversity • Outlook : how long you are able to sustain positive emotion • Social intuition : how adept you are at picking up social signals
Self-awareness : how well you perceive bodily feelings that reflect emotions • Sensitivity to Context : how good you are at regulating your emotional responses to take into account the context you find yourself in • Attention: how sharp and clear your focus is
The Brain has a property called neuro-plasticity the ability to change its structure and patterns of activity in significant ways not only in childhood but also in adulthood and throughout life.
