Dr Jessica Eccles has devoted her career to exploring how differences in the body are linked to differences in the brain. At this speaker session, hear about Jessica’s prize-winning research; how these common differences are associated with distinct thinking and creative styles; and how these remarkable associations are linked through neurodiversity.
The process of evolution has led to a diversity of thinkers. This diversity is essential to ensure as a society, we challenge the status quo, think outside of the box, and find the ideas and solutions that will ultimately drive us forward.
This session will leave you thinking about the impact your body and brain have on your business; encourage your curiosity; and challenge some stereotypes you have about the human brain and the human body. Coming along is a no-brainer.
