All,
You are cordially invited to attend the following PDW, introducing recent
advances in MSR research involving neuroscience. The session is open to
everyone, but if you pre-register, you could receive a FREE conative
assessment valued at $50 (see details below).
Due to popular demand, the session is being held two times as follows
(please register for only one session):
Program Session #: 19 | Submission: 12145 | Sponsor(s): (MSR, IAM, MC)
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 12 2011 8:00AM - 10:00AM at San Antonio Convention

Program Session #: 146 | Submission: 18196 | Sponsor(s): (MSR)

SESSION TITLE: Trust Your Instincts - A Neuroscience-Based Approach to
Transforming Organizational Performance
Presenter: Kathy Kolbe, Chair, Kolbe Corp.
Presenter: John F Regni, Lt. Gen USAF (ret); Aerospace and Defense
Initiative, SFAz
This PDW leverages neuroscientific research into the psychological construct
of conative instinct as an application of volition in improving workplace
performance. Independent university researchers in partnership with Kolbe
Corp conducted an interdisciplinary study, supporting the veracity of
conation as a third dimension of mind. Balancing all three dimensions of
mind - cognitive, affective, and conative - can yield higher performance as
measured by productivity and efficiency. Embracing this holistic approach to
unleashing human potential, talent, and spirit within organizations can
enhance commitment and engagement, thereby reducing stress, tension, and
workplace burnout. Participants will learn about the implications of this
new research for organizational effectiveness and transformation, leadership
development, learning, and talent management, particularly in cross-cultural
contexts. Differences and similarities between conative instinct and
intuition will be discussed in creating purposeful action. Case studies will
be presented to highlight transcultural examples of the nature and influence
of conation in commercial and governmental organizations, reinforcing how
21st century organizations can become more synergistic as complex, adaptive
systems. Attendees will engage in interactive learning that yields new
pracademic insights, helping to inform current and future scholarship and
management education that can lead to greater organizational viability and
sustainability. This session is open to everyone. However, the first 75
attendees to pre-register will have the opportunity of taking a free
ipsative assessment (Kolbe AT Index) that will reveal their own conative
modus operandi. Results will be handed out during the session.
Pre-registration is required for this workshop. To accommodate more
attendees, this session is being held twice on Friday August 12th, once at
8am (session #12145), and then repeated again at 4:15pm (session #18196).
Please preregister for one session only. To register online, please visit
