1 NeuroLeadership Institute Areas of research interest 2010 Presented by David Rock, 1 December 2010

2 Agenda 1. Review of NLI s purpose, beliefs & goals 2. Big bucket topics Type tagline here 3. Measurement studies 4. Longitudinal studies 5. NeuroLeadership Lab update 6. Discussion about IP

3 NLI purpose To encourage, generate and share neuroscience research that transforms Type tagline here how people think, develop and perform.

4 Things we value Making complex science accessible, to make a difference in the lives of others Continuously breaking new ground in research Type tagline here Focusing on activities we are the best in the world at Being a learning organization, constantly seeking feedback & evolving Thinking and functioning globally, embracing diversity Holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards of professional and scientific integrity

5 NLI goals on the horizon Wider channels of sharing research Significantly increasing the LIGs Mini-summits Funding research projects by NLI, students or members

6 Big bucket topics 1. Neuroscience as the Natural Science of Leadership 2. Neuroscience of Creativity and Innovation 3. Neuroscience of Ethics 4. Neuroscience of Cultural Awareness 5. Neuroscience of Personal Intentional Change

7 Big bucket topics 6. Neuroscience of Habits 7. Neuroscience of Leadership Competencies 8. Neuroscience of Conflict Management 9. Neuroscience of Feedback 10. Neuroscience of Issue Resolution (Problem Solving, Decision Making, Problem Avoidance, Situation Appraisal)

8 Measurement studies 1. Emotion Elicitation Events and Biofeedback (Across all SCARF elements) 2. Emotion and the Performance Impacts of Internally Driven Mental States 3. Emotion, Performance and Self Regulation 4. Derivation of an Individual s Self Regulation ability 5. Relationship between Self-Awareness and Self-Regulation 6. Effectiveness of Neuroscience based tools for Improving Attention and Self-Regulation 7. Relationship between ADD, ADHD etc. and Self-Regulation of Emotions

9 Measurement studies 8. Impact of Individual differences in Age and Gender around SCARF 9. Derivation of an Individual s SCARF mix 10. Relationship between Neuro- and Biofeedback for physical and mental performance 11. Relationship between fmri and traditional Neuro- and Biofeedback measurements 12. Relationship between traditional Psychometric Instruments and Neuroscience data

10 Measurement studies 13. Relationship between NeuroLeadership and Positive Psychology, Strengths, Appreciative inquiry approaches 14. Making the best personal development use of performance measurement instruments (Coaching and personal development) Base-lining Assessing Incremental change Challenge Testing 15. General Stress versus SCARF as a Stressor

11 Measurement studies 16. Prevalent, role and importance of the insight experience in coaching interventions 17. The link between insight and the likelihood of change in coaching interventions. 18. Data on various methods of coaching, comparing techniques in terms of creating sustained change 19. Relative importance of the self-directed issue, versus solutionfocus issue, in coaching effectiveness, and across cultures.

12 Longitudinal studies 1. Difference between effectiveness of leaders with and without understanding of the brain 2. Impact of adding neuroscience to leadership programs, comparison studies between groups with and without understanding of neuroscience 3. Impact of understanding the brain on everyday mindfulness 4. Impact of understanding the brain on cognitive skills 5. Impact of understanding the brain on stress levels, allostatic load and other biomarkers

13 Longitudinal studies 6. NeuroLeadership Program effectiveness (Youth to College/ University to Executive training programs) 7. Impact of mindfulness, meditation, prayer and self-regulation activities on leadership performance over time 7. Differences between brain education and brain training 8. Impact of brain education / training on self-regulation and Performance 9. Neuroscience of engagement: measuring the impact of wide scale engagement interventions in terms of biological changes (such as allostatic load).

14 What NeuroLeadership Labs are doing

15 Measuring Mental & Physical Outputs for Performance Improvement Physical Activity Performance Measurement Mental Activity Emotion Measure Thalamic Response Measures (Wireless, With five hours of storage) HRV* Heart Rate* Skin Conductance** Respiration* Movement* * SUUNTO t6d ** SUUNTO td6+ (Designed for CIMBA) (January 2011) 15

16 NJ Lab Classroom and the Use of Technology Using cutting edge technology to instrument the body to gather the following neurobiofeedback data: Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability, Skin Conductance, Respiratory Rates, Movement, and other To provide the most accurate measures possible of the mental state of the person being tested and coached Coaching is data driven with interventions defined by detailed information on the coachee s responses to normal workplace stress and pressures

17 NJ Lab Performance Emotion Process 1. Elicit Base-Line Emotions 2. Measure and Assess Emotional Reactions via Neuro-Biofeedback 3. Observe, Analyze, and Connect to Cognition through Real Time Data Outputs which Generate Real Time Feedback Inputs 17
