As of July 2008, the Summits in Sydney and NYC are taking shape nicely, with an amazing line-up of some of the world's leading researchers.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Jonah Lehrer, author of "Proust Was a Neuroscientist" and talk about his new book on making decisions and neuroscience generally. Jonah will be speaking at the NYC summit in October. It's a great thirty minute discussion, download it here.

I recently did a brief video interview that gives a bit more background to these Summits, (for a webinar I did for the Conference Board in June. ) Click below to watch.



There's a brief interview here with a participant from the first summit, talking about what he got out of the event, click here to download.

The NeuroLeadership Summits will:
• Give you cutting edge research into human performance, including looking at future trends
• Help you understand and manage your own brain better
• Explore how to use neuroscience inside leadership and learning programs
• Illustrate how to to improve leadership and learning programs

You will have access to the leading neuroscientists of our times, as well as networking with practitioners who are integrating neuroscience in many different ways.

The summits each have five main areas of focus, which are topics that both Neuroscience and Leadership development have in common:
1. How we know ourselves
2. How we make decisions and solve problems
3. How we stay cool under pressure
4. How we get on with others
5. How we drive change
