Summary: <p>Marsha Shenk, coach, consultant and founder of The BestWork People, takes us on a whirlwind tour of how the brain affects everyday interactions. Shenk believes that people fundamentally want to contribute - to be part of meaningful interactions, which is what life - including business - is made up of.</p><br> <p>Our favorite quote: "Business agility is not for the faint hearted."</p><br> <p>More nuggets of wisdom Shenk offers:<br>- "People get dumbed down by having imperatives imposed on them."<br>- "Fear shuts down the prefrontal cortex, which is where our executive function is... so nothing new happens"<br>- "Business is a social activity. Some people now think that itʻs happening between computers - no. Thereʻs somebody out there making a decision and that person has a beating heart."<br>- "I recommend respecting the limitations of technology and ... physiology."<br>- "In order to keep learning after puberty, you have to develop the skill of building new neural pathways."</p><br> <p>Hosted by Leslie Morse in NYC at Business Agility 2018.</p><br> <p>To receive real-time updates: <br>Podcast library: <a title="http://www.agileamped.com" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.agileamped.com" target="_blank">www.agileamped.com</a> <br>Subscribe to our newsletter: <a title="http://www.solutionsiq.com/agile-amped/" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.solutionsiq.com%2Fagile-amped%2F" target="_blank">www.solutionsiq.com/agile-amped/</a> <br>Connect on Twitter: <a title="http://twitter.com/AgileAmped" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FAgileAmped" target="_blank">twitter.com/AgileAmped</a><br>Follow us on Facebook: <a title="http://www.facebook.com/agileamped" href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fagileamped" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/agileamped</a></p>
