This course qualifies for STRTP CEUs.   Harnessing the Brain Science of Awe & Wonder to Optimize Your Resilience to Stress & Maximize Performance What is your brain wired for? Where does your mind go when left to its own devices? Stress, worry, and status quo? Or happiness, joy, even awe? Using what we know and applying it to life and work allows the communities of people we serve to benefit from this growing body of scientific knowledge. Awe and wonder have seemed to be a mystery historically, aligned more with highly unusual or rare experiences. Recent findings highlight that awe is a fundamental human emotion. We are learning that not only do humans naturally experience awe but that we are-in all likelihood-wired to do so. This means we can improve upon and increase the awe in our lives and in the lives of our communities. The positive effects are vast for personal lives and for advancing the causes and strategic objectives of organizations. --- Instructor: Dee O'Neill, M.S., LPC Dee O’Neill is a keynote speaker, author, facilitator, and licensed professional counselor. She has been in the field of brain science for over 20 years helping clients and leadership teams create and sustain fulfilling and high-performance roles, workplaces, and lives, by educating, enhancing, and empowering optimal brain health.             --- Other Important Information: Accommodations: To request additional assistance or accommodations, please contact Brisa Romero, Training Assistant, at bromero@catalyst-center.org.
