The Neuroscience Behind Team Success: From Stress & Burnout to High Performance

£175.00

A practical, research-backed look at what supports people’s wellbeing and performance at work.

Join Professor Steve Peters and the Chimp Management team for a one-day conference exploring how to build high-performing teams by supporting the psychological wellbeing of the individuals within them.

Grounded in neuroscience and practical application, the day includes two in-depth workshops, a keynote from Professor Peters, and a live Q&A.
