16.10	Breaking boundaries and designing your future Stephanie Davies, Director and Founder, Laughology It can sometimes be the belief that ability and intelligence are set, or we have reached the peak of our knowledge. This is not true; intelligence and ability are not fixed, we can always improve and learn and intelligence is obtainable by all and generally the only thing stopping us is self-belief and bias. Popular culture and science plays up differences between male and female brains with potentially damaging consequences for workplaces and the future of development and beyond. Expelling these myths and giving a real insight into the mind, our ability and possibilities as well as how our beliefs impact how we think, act and communicate can encourage us to excel as human beings. Making ourselves and our business capabilities endless, rather than fixed by fictitious boundaries. In this short but packed intro session you will take away: An insight into human behaviour, the mind and abilities An understanding of emotional intelligence and greater self-awareness Practical techniques for greater decision making and innovative thinking An understanding of how projected beliefs about brain gender differences and abilities impacts on individual and organisational development
