ABOUT THE SESSION: What Did Our Brains Just Say? The Neuroscience of Expert PM Conversations

Have you ever said something to someone that unintentionally upset, or even offended them? Even with the best intentions, our words sometimes have unintended impacts. How do you recover from the disconnection and rebuild trust when that happens? This session provides one solution to that problem: Conversational Intelligence® (C-IQ®). C-IQ is a neuroscience framework for recovering from unintentional impacts and building trust in communication. During a conversation, there’s a neurochemical cocktail that’s influencing all parties involved. These influences are unconscious; however, we can learn to recognize the signs of neurochemical impacts. That knowledge is key to building relationships with intention and having effective conversations with teams, leaders, and stakeholders.

  • Identify the impact of different neurochemicals on communication and trust
  • Learn to differentiate three levels of conversation and how to switch between them
  • Apply three neuroscience strategies to restore positive relationships following a disconnection
  • Overcome blind spots that negatively impact trust
