15th - 16th March 2025

What makes this programme unique?

  • It distills complex, cutting edge Neuroscience research into tools that are understandable and immediately useful.
  • It is the first of its kind anywhere. Professor of Applied Neuroscience Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott have been collaborating to make current state of the art neuroscience available in a practical format.
  • It combines Patricia’s many years experience in teaching and researching psychology and neuroscience with Ian’s in delivering real behavioural change for individuals, teams and organisations.
  • It covers a wide range of applications in just 10 days: motivation, creativity, memory, emotion regulation, stress, resilience and decision making among others.

This programme is broken into 5 key areas which run over 5 months.

We would love to discuss this programme with you some more so do get in touch...
