Hand Me the Keys: Together We Can Unlock Human Potential

New insights into the human brain and biology are challenging long-held but false assumptions about talent, learning, and human potential. For starters: 1. Talent exists everywhere, not on a bell curve. 2. The brain is malleable well into young adulthood. 3. No matter the starting point or how many obstacles get in the way, all humans can develop to their fullest potential, contribute to the world, and live fulfilling lives. Human beings are wired to develop, learn, and grow. Great potential is there. This session will share the keys to help all of us unlock and maximize it.
