Topics
Fostering happiness in Agile Teams: A neurochemical perspective.
Join me for this session, 'Fostering happiness in Agile Teams,' where we will explore the neurochemistry of (un)happiness through insights into happiness chemicals.
Discover practical strategies to unleash endorphin, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin in your team, enhancing collaboration, satisfaction, and performance. This interactive session will explain how these chemical drivers can help you create a thriving Agile environment, empowering your team and making them happier.
Building Trust with Your Teams: The Foundation of High-Performing Teams
Trust is the foundation of high-performing teams. Trust is not just a vague concept; it has a profound neurological basis that affects team dynamics, productivity, and collaboration. Join us for an interactive session where we delve into the fascinating world of trust, guided by the insights of renowned experts like Paul J. Zak and the authors of "The Trusted Advisor."
Trust is more than just a warm and fuzzy feeling—it's a neurochemical reality. This engaging conference talk will explore the science behind trust and its crucial role in nurturing high-performing teams. The session will draw from the groundbreaking research of Paul J. Zak, who researched the role of oxytocin, often called the "trust hormone," in fostering trust within organizations.

Using neuroscience in your Scrum Events to make them more engaging
Inspired by Sharon Bowmans’ Training From the Back of the Room's 6 trumps, this session will explore how Brain Science can keep Scrum Events live, active, and worthwhile.
To get the most out of the Scrum Events, I tried a lot of things. I experimented with formats and setups, did Facilitator training, and looked for interesting games and Sprint Retrospective formats. But I never looked further than that—until I did the Training From the Back of the Room and was intrigued by how the brain works in a training and learning setting.
Learning more about the human brain, I figured out that one could also use Brain Science to keep Scrum Events alive and worthwhile. For example, research shows that our brain 'disconnects' after 10 minutes when nothing changes. In a training setting, you would use this knowledge to change the setting regularly or to make short exercises or chunks of information. In a Scrum event, you could also use this knowledge.
How? That's what we will explore during this session.
In this session, you will learn about neuroscience and how to use it to activate your brain and make your Scrum Events alive and active. Bring your Brain!
