Work Smarter, Not Harder
Dr. Marc Hurwitz
Bingemans
What can I do to make myself smarter?
How might I multitask better?
Can I utilize more of my brain?
How can I help others make better decisions?
People are endlessly fascinated with what brain science can do for them. And rightly so. Our brains are a 3-pound powerhouse with outsized impact and upsized potential. Our remarkable brains are responsible for controlling our actions, reactions, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings – essentially all the things that we think of as human. This session is taught by a neuroscientist with an MBA and, therefore, it is uniquely pracademic: deeply rooted in science and made practical with memorable, principle-based approaches, with lots of real-world tips that you can use straight away.
Dr. Marc Hurwitz is the co-author of the best-seller Leadership Is Half The Story: A Fresh Look at Followership, Leadership and Collaboration (University of Toronto, Rotman Press) and co-founder of FliP University. He is also a professor at the University of Waterloo – teaching leadership, entrepreneurship, and consulting. His PhD is in cognitive neuroscience. And, if that wasn’t diverse enough, he taught Finance at Wilfrid Laurier University and has many years corporate and entrepreneurial experience in: marketing, HR, actuarial and IT roles. Although, as a kid, he dreamed of being a theoretical physicist or one of the Beatles, his path in life keeps pulling him back to his love of learning and teaching.
Two meals are complimentary per Family Business Member. Additional meals can be purchased and will be invoiced by CFFB.
