Secrets from the BRAIN

by Rick Baker
On Jul 13, 2010
On June 23rd, Lorie Saxby gave a very-educational presentation to our Kitchener-Westmount Rotary Club.
 
Lorie Saxby, PhD is the co-author of Secrets from the BRAIN and she is President of Working Brain Associates Inc. www.loriesaxby.com
 
Lorie delivers workshops and training to people seeking to improve work performance by tapping into brain science. Based on the many questions asked at the end of Lorie’s talk it is clear her insight will benefit not just business people but also their relatives and friends: for example, consider anxiety around public speaking.
 
In an earlier blog, I wrote about Executive BrainSmarts, the 7 key frontal lobe executive cognitive functions identified by Lorie Saxby: Focus, Initiate, Plan, Organize, Shift, Monitor, and Regulate.
 
In this blog, I will summarize the feedback loop Lorie described during her presentation…and please refer to pages 26-29 of Secrets from the BRAIN …an excerpt from Page 28:
 
While the Executive BrainSmarts are interrelated, they fall into a continuous and ongoing feedback loop that allows us to gauge our progress and revise action plans accordingly.
 
The Executive BrainSmarts Feedback Loop consists of 3 phases:
 
 
Prepare: to begin our work tasks we use our Focus & Initiate Executive BrainSmarts
 
Perform: to perform our work tasks we use our Plan, Organize, & Shift Executive BrainSmarts
 
Check: to check the impact our actions and emotions have on ourselves and others we use our Monitor & Regulate Executive BrainSmarts
 
For a copy of this informative book, please visit www.loriesaxby.com
 
More about Executive BrainSmarts in future blogs…
