The Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce presents Power Hour, a program held monthly, September through June, for the area’s top business and community leaders. This is your opportunity to network with colleagues and peers, while gaining valuable insight from informative presentations on today's hottest topics. Join us at Power Hour and start your day with information that impacts!
Our June presenter is Jacy Imilkowski, Expert Resilience Trainer and Speaker, sharing her presentation, "What Did My Brain Just Say? The Neuroscience of Effective Leadership Conversations." During a conversation, there’s a neurochemical cocktail that’s influencing everyone involved. While these influences are unconscious, we can learn to recognize the signs of neurochemical impacts, then use that information to build relationships with intention and recover from disconnection.
•Navigate difficult and crucial conversations more effectively
•Identify blind spots that negatively impact trust
•Employ different conversational approaches for specific outcomes
