What if your team looked forward to Mondays as much as Fridays?

Engaged employees are energized by their work and what they can contribute to the team; they love being challenged and making a difference. They are productive, positive, and great ambassadors of your brand – which makes your organization more profitable and successful. To tap into this kind of employee behavior and foster deep, lasting engagement, you need to align the workplace with the brain’s hardwired expectations that allow individuals to perform at their fullest capacity. 

In this energizing keynote, Don Rheem breaks down the science that triggers exemplary workplace behavior at a neurological level, so you can understand how to foster a thriving culture and apply what you’re learning immediately.

In today’s workplace, psychological safety emerges as a critical factor, deeply rooted in our evolutionary instinct for survival and the need for a secure environment. Recognizing that our brains still respond to contemporary challenges—like project performance or negative feedback—with primal reactions, it's essential for leaders to foster a culture where psychological safety is prioritized. By establishing and reinforcing this foundation, organizations can cultivate resilient, high-performing teams where individuals feel valued, heard, and empowered to take risks and contribute their best work.

Join us for this unique training opportunity and move the needle in creating a more innovative, empowered, and resilient workforce.

Whether we know it consciously or not, each one of us has hardwired needs that must be met in order to thrive. This human reality also applies in the workplace. The underpinning of these needs lies in the timeless science of psychological safety and what leadership expert Don Rheem refers to as emotional velcro. 

Join Rheem as he translates these findings along with cutting edge research to provide a recipe for organizational success never seen before. Finally, leaders have a reliable approach that keeps them ahead of the curve - no matter what tomorrow brings.
