Improve strategy, influence, and decision-making by understanding your brain | Evan LaPointe

Evan LaPointe, founder of CORE Sciences, explains how understanding the brain's safety, reward, and purpose systems can improve strategy, meetings, and teamwork. He describes personality traits like openness and conscientiousness shaping how people handle vision versus execution, the importance of "habitat" (team culture) built on logical role-and-value rather than inspiration, and techniques for influence, trust-building, and relationships. He also covers alpha/beta/gamma brain-wave states and scheduling deep, unstructured thinking time to boost focus and innovation.
