Cool under pressure: How to stay calm and manage your composure

Do you ever feel flustered at work, as though your emotions are taking over?

In our fast-paced environment, we need to maintain composure while managing many competing demands. Join Dr Judi Newman as she takes us on a deep dive into the neuroscience of managing brain states at critical times. Learn what to do when you're feeling rattled, and strategies to avoid feeling stressed in the first place.

This webinar explores how understanding your brain can help you maintain composure when it matters most. The ability to change your brain state, which refers to the patterns of activity that influence how you think, feel and act, is a powerful skill for both leaders and learners. Explore insights from neuroscience into how the brain and nervous system shape our responses, and learn strategies to build mental flexibility and resilience.
