FMs: think differently

Questions you can ask in your organisation: Do people know what is important – for their brains, not just “wellbeing”?

- What are you currently doing?- Is this visible to your people? How are you telling people about the

things you do? What else can you influence today / easily that would make a difference? What can you do to encourage people to improve their “brainpower”? Who do you need to influence with this evidence-based research to make

more significant or innovative changes?

THANK YOU!
