“Ultimately, who does it serve? What is the value it creates? How do we make sure there’s widespread accessibility? And what does it ultimately mean for humanity as a species? Are some of the more existential questions we’re starting to ask ourselves.” Jon Yeo talks about the acceleration of technology on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“It’s about being aware of what you can do, what you can’t do when it comes to speaking, communication, influence, and giving yourself the best chance to put your best foot forward when the opportunity turns up.” Having a system for communication with Jon Yeo on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“This is where human values come into mind, into human decision making, human logic. And these are all things that you can’t program the way you can program, but it’s got to be programmed in such a way that everyone’s included and we don’t have that capability. And so that’s the bit that’s both interesting and a concern for me when it comes to technology.” The intersection of human & artificial intelligence with Jon Yeo on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I think also this is why managers, leaders have to be genuine, authentic, real because when you acknowledge you’re giving off the message subtly of something that’s in conflict with what you’re saying and people will pick up on that even if they don’t realize it at the moment, they will go away with some level of feeling or intuition.” Roxanne Calder talks about the importance of nonverbal cues in the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I understand why people are scared there or fearful or worried about it. It’s our next big thing. It’s as big as the Internet. So I understand why people might be concerned, but I think they should take a different view on it. They should be embracing it, getting ahead of it, getting on top of it.” AI and human resources with Roxanne Calder on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“It’s always about learning and refining and applying. What you’ve learned doesn’t have to be just about the job. It can be about yourself. And it’s probably even more powerful if you can learn more about yourself.” Reflections from past and current jobs with Roxanne Calder on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

Creating A Brain Shift

On this episode of the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with Adele Spraggon about creating a brain shift, the 4 steps to personal empowerment and human behaviour.

We also dive deeper into the existing patterns in our brain, neuroscience, and uncovering what makes people unhappy.

Adele Spraggon – Creating A Brain Shift

Adele Spraggon is the author of the award-winning book Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment, an international trainer, and a fearless speaker. Her fascination with neuroscience and human behavior has led her to uncover what makes us unhappy and to offer practical solutions for personal empowerment.

With a Master’s degree in Humanities/Humanistic Studies from York University, Adele has been recognised for her outstanding contributions in the field of customer experience, behavioral expertise, and personal empowerment. She was awarded the 2020 Woman of Inspiration: Customer Experience Award and the 2021 Top Behavioural Expert of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals and was recently featured on the cover of the Top Industry Professionals magazine.

Adele talks about:

How her childhood affected her perspective of human behaviour
Living in affluence in contrast to living in poverty
The human behavior that causes the dynamic between the rich and the poor
Fear of the unknown
Surviving by knowing
Creating a brain shift
Helping people take charge and make decisions
Fascination with human behaviour and being a behavioural change expert
Having a purpose in life
Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment
The brain pattern
Rewiring the brain and shifting behaviours
Lifetime technique of pattern shifting

Tweets

“There’s one thing that every human being on this planet fears, and it’s one shared fear amongst all of us, and that is the unknown. So that’s why we get trapped in situations where we know we’re not happy, but we don’t know how to get out of that, because to get out of that, we have to make a leap of faith.” Adele Spraggon talks about fear of the unknown on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I think though coaching is one of those things that if you love doing it, it really becomes a huge purpose in life because it’s so meaningful to be able to support somebody out of those places where they think I’m trapped and I can never get out.” Finding meaning through coaching with Adele Spraggon on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“Our human brain is such that it creates patterns or neural pathways. And so every time that a child learns something, the brain stores that away in the form of a pattern so that it can repeat that behaviour in the future. So we tend to rely on actions that we’ve already done in the past. And once our brain has a pattern, it tends to take that action over and over again, which is why somebody can make the same mistake repeatedly knowing it’s a mistake but not being able to change it.” The neural pathways of the human brain with Adele Spraggon on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
