CS Local Scotland welcome Home Office Leadership in Action team for an introduction into a fascinating field of study - neuroscience. You can attend in either East Kilbride or Dundee.
The session looks at how habits are formed, mindset and the link between the two, changing habits to change your mindset. We look at 'threat' and 'reward' in the workplace and how the environment impacts on performance.
Delegates will get an understanding of the brain and some of the basic ways the brain works, the thinking brain, the emotional brain and the automatic brain. Why these systems are important, how they affect us in our jobs and in our interactions with colleagues staff and managers. Emotional intelligence, awareness of self and our impact on others and also a greater understanding of the emotional states of others and what we can do to manage that effectively.
Delegates will also learn about neuroplasticity, how to develop the brain, the inverted U of performance and how emotions are contagious.
By the end of the event you will:
- have developed a broader understanding on a national subject impacting the Civil Service
- be able to apply the learning back in your workplace
- recommend to a colleague for development
- network with colleagues from other government departments

I am interested in this subject. I am member of Midlands CSL Diversity Inclusion group. I can't attend this event. Is it possible for you to share this presentation with me?

They are not ours to share. They are being delivered on our behalf by IE Home Office and it is an interactive presentation. On their own the slides would not be as effective as seeing the presentation delivered. Other areas are holding similar sessions so look out for one nearer to you.
