Learn brain-based (Self)leadership

Today’s working life and society place increasing demands on our ability to lead ourselves and others. Good self-leadership is the foundation of good leadership. One of the most important qualities of successful individuals and leaders is self-awareness. Our brain controls and regulates everything we do, which makes knowledge and understanding of our own brain central to good self-leadership.

This unique knowledge of our own and others’ functioning that the course provides can be used in both private life and working life and helps you to strengthen and sharpen small and large decisions in life and adjust in decisions and actions. In the long run, it can strengthen your leadership, increase success at work, strengthen your relationships and collaborations, and all in all, provide an increased balance and well-being in life. Knowledge also has a preventive effect and improves your handling of undesirable states and situations of crisis, stress, and conflicts.

At Capacio, we are experts in cognitive neuroscience based on clinical research. Our ambition is to disseminate this knowledge outside the clinical field to give more people the right conditions to achieve self-awareness and achieve better functioning and well-being.
