Event Description
This session will discuss how to handle the sheer volume of information and decision-making leaders are faced with in the Digital Age. The talk centers on built-in reserves our brains are designed with, what drains them, and how to retrain our brains to refresh those reserves throughout the work day.
Learning Objectives: Participants completing this session will be able to:
1. Identify three reasons why "multitasking" adds mental stress while reducing efficiency;
2. Name two processes that make the human brain unique, and that differentiate it from computers, which can do multiple tasks simultaneously;
3. Understand key brain structures involved in attention and decision-making, and how to use the brain's unique processing capabilities to handle stress;
4. Identify three methods for organizing information and five strategies for decision-making that reduce mental stress in the age of "more with less, 24/7"; and,
5. Explain the concept of sustainable mental stress loads and the use of technology to build an environment of superior responsiveness to clients.
