This event has already taken place.
The training program ‘Female brain power’, by Dr Karolien Notebaert (The Science and Leadership Academy), teaches the essential skills that professional women need to fully develop their unique female potential, enhance their power and take the lead. Based on neuroscience, this training provides effective strategies and solutions for women to significantly improve their (self-)leadership skills and strengthen their career position. It focuses on perceptions, behaviors, stereotypes, and (unconscious) destructive self-bias women uniquely face in their career development. Based on a mixture of theory and practice, the participants learn to tackle performance, power and relationships, negotiation skills and positive influence.
The training program consists of two different modules a day, a master class in-between the two training days and homework based on discussions (in the workgroup and with a buddy) and self-reflection exercises. The entire program will take place online.
DAY 1
Part 1 - Hack your brain - Unlock your potential
Hack your brain?! How can you unlock your unique female potential in the digital age? Neuroscience provides answers! In this session, participants will learn what mental performance and unlocking potential in the brain truly means. Based on theory and practice, they will learn a powerful strategy that significantly boosts mental strength, performance, decision making and quality of life. In addition, participants will be able to experience how one can measure the effectiveness of the exercises. With a live demo, hacking your brain becomes very much hands on and eye-opening.
Part 2 - Taking the lead: personality based leadership to increase your influence
The real truth about why we do what we do! This is what you can expect in this part of the module ‘Female Brain Power’. A vast amount of our daily behaviour and decision making is influenced by the personality that is anchored in our brain. Through theory and practice, participants will gain a profound insight into how the brain makes decisions and how this process is dominantly influenced by our personality. Participants will learn how to use their own personality as the most important success factor in career development. In addition, we will discuss and practice how this in-depth knowledge can be used to positively influence our interactions, negotiations, discussions and general (self-)leadership skills.

DAY 2
Part 1 - Tackling unconscious (self-)biases that sabotage career advancement
Now that we have learned how to hack our female potential, how can female leaders use it to climb the career ladder in a business world that is often characterized by strong male leadership? This question will be addressed from a scientific point of view and put into action through practice. After understanding how unconscious biases are part of our decision making process, participants will gain a profound insight into the different biological set-ups that naturally result in different behavioural patterns and leadership styles for women and men. Based on this knowledge, they will work out effective solutions for the most common unconscious behavioural patterns that sabotage women in their career advancement.
Part 2 - Recap, check, further implementation and closing
During the final day of this program, participants will receive a recap of all the content and exercises that were taught during the program. Undertaken implementations will be tested, evaluated and refined. In order to measure the effectiveness of the regular practice of the self-regulation strategies, all have the option to participate in a final HeartMath® measure. The program will be closed with a fun and personal team exercise.
