S2-Ep13: Manage Your Thinking to Improve Your Effectiveness

Guest: Gary Weber

Gary Weber and Maureen Metcalf talk about recent brain research and how leaders and emerging leaders can leverage this information to gain additional capacities. They also discuss what recent research is DISPROVING, busting conventional wisdom.

Gary’s work is perfectly tailored to help leaders rethink how they lead, and as we look at the brain consciousness connection, what it means to be a leader. Gary also connects his work with the brain to promoting happiness.

Questions covered:

1) Why did you take up this work?

2) What question did you start with?

4) How can we become much more productive and less distracted?

5) How do I stop the internal narrative in my head?

6) How does being less distracted and managing my internal narrative help me be more happy?
