Course content

3 sections • 30 lectures • 4h 20m total length

Module 1: Introduction and presentation of the course2:07
In this first module we will make an introduction, presenting the course and its main objectives.

Each class has different materials that we hope you will take advantage of in depth and for that we recommend:

Step 1: Watch the presentation video of the course, assimilating the new concepts and taking note of the fundamental elements.
Step 2: Review in detail the videos of the classes where you will find content, reflections and tests so that you can apply what you have learned.
Step 3: Take the tests and self-assessments that we propose and reflect on the changes you could make.
Step 4: Read the specially prepared articles so you can delve into the content and access scientific material to support the class.
Step 5: Take the quiz where you can test what you have learned.

By the end of this class, you are expected to be able to:

Recognize how Neuroscience, its study and available tools collaborate to make the way in which effective leadership is developed in organizations more efficient.
Understand the basic functioning of the brain and mind during leadership.
Increase your metacognition, recognizing the main cognitive systems related to leadership. For this, you will carry out various tests that will allow you to show, among others: your personality types, motivational systems, and leadership styles.
Apply the knowledge acquired to start developing your own leadership style based on Neuroscience.

After completing the course, you will see your development and leadership potential in a different light, with the brain "in mind".

We hope you will be surprised and enjoy.

When you finish it, you are expected to be able to:

Recognize the difference between the brain, the organ (hardware) and the mind (software), the functioning that "emerges" allowing you to have a unique and unrepeatable identity.
Know the theory of the "triune" brain that will allow you, conceptually, to know 3 large groups of functions of your mind.
Understand the origin of Cognitive Neurosciences, its main objective as the study of the brain and the relevance of technology for the advancement and continuous discovery of the great questions of humanity.
Reflect on your mind and the way it develops from all the connections that you have generated through your experiences.

We hope it is a good start to the course.

Module 5: You are being your connectome6:30
We start a new section, where we will focus on YOUR self-knowledge and metacognition. It means that you will begin to know class by class different aspects of your personality, motivation, values and other cognitive systems that are at the base of your current behavior.

In this fifth module you will learn what personality is, you will delve into the concept of the connectome to finally discover the importance of cognitive flexibility.

When you finish it, you are expected to be able to:

Description

On behalf of FLUENT MOMENTUM we welcome you to the course, the main theme of which will be Cognitive Neurosciences applied to the organizational environment and the enhancement of leadership.

Are you interested in the theory behind, personality formation, motivation, values and organisational excellence?

For more than a decade, management has been working synergistically with neuroscience research in organizational fields, allowing the development of more effective talent development strategies, measuring and making more evident the biological mechanisms through which their leaders and collaborators coexist with uncertainty, they regulate stress and emotions, make decisions and mobilize people. The study of the brain is no longer detached from the development of leaders, who find in neuroscience a source of innovation for the creation of new ways of developing people, and although there is still a long way to go, science already has some answers to questions as are the functioning of the brain in the face of digital changes or transformations, so common in our days. Where the impact and influence of people is studied but this time, with the brain in "mind".

Through new tools and techniques, it is possible to diagnose and understand the different types of mental models, motivations, types of intelligence, individual cognitive roles and teams to exercise increasingly effective leadership. We invite you to be part of this experience, which surprises and captivates more and more people related to leadership or organizational consulting.

This course was born out of a desire to make this information simple and accessible, the dichotomy between a physical organ and the mind hides questions that, as they are revealed, allow us to learn a little more about what happens in the brain and mind of the leaders, as well as your own. At FLUENT MOMENTUM we hope this proposal amazes you as much as it did us, we want to bring you closer to the intricate highways of interconnected neurons, closer to the sense of awe ignited when we face the reality that we’re only just beginning to understand a small percentage of the seemingly limitless functions of the human brain and mind.

Welcome to this challenge, one that will allow you to better understand yourself, and how we can better lead in organizations with the brain “in mind”.

Who this course is for:

Any person curious about Neuroscience who wishes to take their first steps in applying it to business.
Professionals from different areas who wish to incorporate tools from Neuroscience into their private or organizational practices, to enhance their practices or add new services and increase the effectiveness of their interventions.
