Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

 
One supervisor I met me recently had just taken a walk … alone … mainly to get away from the negativity in his department…. What’s it like where you work…? Daily conflicts plagued this supervisor’s staff … because of pressures that came from a decreasing bottom line.  Fresh air… a walk … and getting outside the building showed him a new angle…

Inside a billowy cloud overhead,  which looked sort of like nature’s mind map… the supervisor mentally scribbled in his firm’s problem: cash flow …  his most immediate concern…. Just seeing these words suspended in nature… he recognized how the recent financial crunch was destroying morale among his otherwise lighthearted staff….

As another larger cloud floated past, he pictured the start of a solution … he’d create a joint retreat with a friend who ran a local  business that built its fortune on innovative ways to value people as their highest currency. Picking up his pace he couldn’t wait to get back and tell the  A-team about his discovery….

Believe it or not, your brain rewires for new possibilities when you see a problem and position even a partial solution alongside it. Your mind also moves faster in the direction of a winning result that it can set in action…when you expect the best … and when you allow your brain to build you a new neuron pathway in that direction….
