Featured Keynote Programs

Mindfulness, Spirituality, and the Brain

By simply spending a few minutes several times a day, a person can permanently alter the functioning of the brain by as much as 25%. The result: Greater work productivity with less stress, decreased anxiety and depression, and enhanced memory, cognition, and empathy. The keynote speech includes animated videos of the human brain, interactive slides of Newberg and Waldman’s brainscan studies, and demonstrations of simple techniques that the audience can experience – exercises that have been documented to improve neural functioning, generate personal happiness, and improve social interactions in the workplace and at home. The workshop guides participants through various relaxation and stress-reduction exercises and different styles of mindfulness-based meditations. Participants can sample ancient spiritual practices from Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Sufism, and Islam and will be shown how they can be used in nonreligious capacities. The lecture is 60-90 minutes long, and the workshop can be tailored to fit a 2-3 hour slot.

A Journey into the Living Brain

It’s not an organ, like the heart. It’s a community of a 160 billion independent and creative living organisms, constantly changing and creatively communicating with each other. Mark presents video footage of neurons interacting with each other in ways that create our emotional and conscious realities. The program includes visual and auditory illusions that help participants understand that the world we imagine is very different from the reality that actually exists “out there.” The program explains what neuroplasticity is and how we can use this ability to change our lives in dramatic ways. The presentation is 45-90 minutes long.

Words Can Change Your Brain - Communication, Leadership, and Values

This program is based on Mark's latest research, which is now a cornerstone of Loyola Marymount University's Executive MBA program. The keynote lecture introduces the 12 strategies of Compassionate Communication and includes experiential exercises that enhance speaking and listening skills. A complementary workshop guides the audience through a formal training exercise that teaches individuals how to quickly build social empathy, mutual trust, and cooperation with others – in the workplace and at home. Compassionate Communication is fully described and documented in Waldman’s and Newberg’s book, Words Can Change Your Brain, and in the 2012 issue of the Journal of Executive Education. The lecture is 60-90 minutes long, and the workshop can be tailored to fit a 2-3 hour slot

The Neuroscience of Happiness and Success

Mark and his team of university researchers have developed a series of experiential exercises and strategies that have been proven to enhance neural performance in ways that increase attentiveness, concentration, empathy, optimism, and work-related productivity. This program explains what motivates people to take action, and what interferes with the brain’s ability to achieve one’s goals and dreams. Participants learn how to identify sabotage behaviors and create counter-strategies that lower stress and build self esteem. The lecture is 60-90 minutes long, and the workshop can be tailored to fit a 2-3 hour slot.
