Event Details

Kimberly Papillon will discuss how various life experiences and neuroscience affect decision-making in the workplace, specifically in relation to diversity. In this interactive session, attendees will learn how life experiences shape our brain’s reactions and affect workplace decisions such as hiring, team dynamics, communication, and conflict resolution. The presentation will identify ways to increase fairness guided by science. Brain imaging can tell us what keeps us from effectively solving problems, helps us innovate, motivates us, scares us and fools us. Through viewing brain images, from various case studies, Papillon will demonstrate how people make decisions in every aspect of business including human resources, marketing and research and development, and how to utilize that to make an inclusive workplace.

Papillon will

  • Explain how decisions are made in business, from a neurological standpoint
  • Explain how the brain reacts and how it affects various competencies
  • Discuss ways of creating procedures and processes that increase fairness in the workplace
