Description

People rarely wake up and spontaneously commit to initiating new behavior. Even when they do, few maintain new behaviors for long. This session presents 10 neuroscience-based “hacks” to help employees facilitate learning transfer and successfully set, adopt, and maintain behavior-oriented goals. The “hacks” are organized along two neural pathways to help trainers and coaches apply evidence-based strategies and tips to facilitate getting started and successfully striving in learning transfer and habit change efforts.

Target Audience
  • • Consulting Psychologists and Coaches
  • • Psychologist
  • • Counselor
  • • Marriage & Family Therapist
  • • Social Worker

  • Describe the two neural pathways associated with motivation to change and goal setting.
