Brain Fit­ness: The 12 Keys to Cre­ate Your High-Per­for­mance Brain

Being match-fit and future-ready is essen­tial in the new era of think­ing that demands high­er lev­els of men­tal agili­ty, flex­i­bil­i­ty, and inno­va­tion. That’s why focus­ing on our cog­ni­tive health is a must. Bring­ing out the best in our­selves and oth­ers is about rec­og­niz­ing that opti­mal per­for­mance depends on attend­ing to both our basic phys­i­o­log­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal needs. Attend­ing to the hard­ware in our skull by remem­ber­ing what the brain requires for best mood, mem­o­ry, and cog­ni­tion lays the foun­da­tion for smoother run­ning of our soft­ware, greater focus, suf­fi­cient sta­mi­na, and the right mind­set to ele­vate con­tri­bu­tion, col­lab­o­ra­tion, and insight.

In this dis­cus­sion, Dr. Jen­ny Brock­is will address what orga­ni­za­tions and indi­vid­u­als can do for them­selves to cre­ate the cog­ni­tive advan­tage and cul­ture of brain safe­ty required to thrive.

Speak­er Bio: 

Dr. Jen­ny Brock­is — med­ical prac­ti­tion­er, healthy brain advo­cate, and future-mind plan­ner — has long been fas­ci­nat­ed by the brain and human behav­ior. Her mis­sion is to become the Jamie Oliv­er of brain fit­ness, mak­ing brain fit­ness as wide­ly appre­ci­at­ed as nutri­tion. She believes that ele­vat­ing brain and orga­ni­za­tion­al health is the way for­ward to build per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al capa­bil­i­ty, achieve­ment, and hap­pi­ness. She works with indi­vid­u­als and orga­ni­za­tions to boost men­tal per­for­mance through increased pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and effi­cien­cy, col­lab­o­ra­tion, and effec­tive lead­er­ship. Her approach to over­com­ing some of the many chal­lenges fac­ing the mod­ern work­place is based on prac­ti­cal neu­ro­science, enabling us to under­stand why we think or behave the way we do and how to imple­ment effec­tive behav­ioral change.

An accred­it­ed Mem­ber of Pro­fes­sion­al Speak­ers Aus­tralia, Jen­ny is an inter­na­tion­al speak­er. She was award­ed the Ros­trum Arthur Gar­vey Tro­phy in 2010 as Speak­er of the Year. She has con­tin­ued her own brain’s edu­ca­tion with fur­ther study into the neu­ro­science of lead­er­ship, is trained to teach mind­ful­ness med­i­ta­tion, and has authored three books: ​“Brain Fit! How Smarter Think­ing Can Save Your Brain”,“Brain Smart: How to Regain Focus, Man­age Dis­trac­tions, and Achieve More.” Her lat­est best-sell­ing book, ​“Future Brain: The 12 Keys to Cre­ate Your High-Per­for­mance Brain” (Wiley) was pub­lished in late 2015.

In addi­tion, Jen­ny is a reg­u­lar con­trib­u­tor to sev­er­al mag­a­zines, and has writ­ten many arti­cles for a large num­ber of print and online pub­li­ca­tions. She has spo­ken to a wide vari­ety of radio sta­tions around Aus­tralia and fea­tured on nation­al and local TV. 

When not speak­ing, writ­ing, or research­ing, Jen­ny loves to spend time with her fam­i­ly, trav­el­ling the world, and chal­leng­ing her long-stand­ing fear of heights.
