Power, politics & pressure workshops
I'm grateful for the ascendancy of women in business and politics, which may yet advance the humanity of those callings -Lawrence Wright
Power Politics and Pressure Workshops
Our workshops are tailormade to reflect the issues that are arising in your specific business context.We look at the neuroscience of how the brain responds to ‘in groups’ and ‘out groups’ in the workplace.
We explore the subtle yet important male- female neurobiological differences in relation to power and pressure and how these show up in politics. Through our interactive workshops we help leaders and teams arrive at productive solutions.

Business leadership
Neurosmart™ was completely different – there’s nothing else like it out there in terms of diversity training programmes. Companies have a tendency to always put people into boxes, whereas neurosmart™ helps you understand the difference between people and the thinking you need to draw on everyone’s strengths.

More about our servicesNeuropsychology
When leaders understand the neuroscience to help them as individuals and their teams reduce stress, they can then create conditions to enable the brain’s highly powerful cortex to work at its best. The neurosmart™ programme gives leaders the tools to help achieve this.
More about neurosmart™Active research
The neurosmart™ programme undertakes tailored research in key participant groups, e.g. leadership teams and top talent, that enables organisations to implement processes that improve productivity at work.

- Kate partners with people from the business where that’s what the client wants to bring the neuroscience to life.

Tried and Tested Frameworks
Mindbridge workshops are designed to be highly practical with tools and frameworks that participants can put into immediate practice.
- Workshops include the introduction of tools for the application of the neuroscience in business
- The models and tools have been tested in the corporate environment so are known to be highly effective
- Our tools and frameworks are designed to get the best of all brain genders
- Participants will gain real insights into their own brain patterning that will make their use of the tools and frameworks even more effective
Multi-media delivery
Our workshop programs are tailor made not just in terms of content but also format and the media we employ to deliver them. Digital media can be used in all kinds of ways to make the workshop more, powerful, inclusive and convenient.
Our workshops and content is made to be delivered in person or using online media in a virtual space or even some mix of the two.
More about digital media in our workshops
- We can use digital media as part of our real world workshop to increase engagement or where it’s the very best way to display an idea.
- Many of the teams we work with are spread across countries or even continents. We can have real world workshops but include virtual participants joining us into the room.
- Where the workshop is best suited to being fully virtual, you’ll find we’ve become very effective at reaching out and including all participants in the session to get the very best from web-based workshops.
I have developed models of applied neuroscience in action. These have been tried and tested with busy leaders.
My vision is to build brain-friendly working environments. I want to help leaders understand the power of igniting the neuro-chemistry that causes people’s brains to thrive. This enables them to be a positive influence on motivation and performance through the application of modern neuroscience.
At Mindbridge, we partner carefully and closely – we build long-term relationships and provide a safe environment to explore challenges and issues. By doing so, we are able to get close to the people and the culture of the organisation we’re working with, and can then provide a bespoke, focused and relevant approach.
