16 Lessons from HR Directors Summit 2016
I wrote up a list of lessons that were shared by speakers during the HR Directors Summit last week.
- Your learning rate is your earning rate
- Uncertainty is always filled by negatives
- Catch people doing something right and recognise it immediately
- Let leaders do the leading (HR supports leaders in the business, it doesn’t replace them)
- One size doesn’t fit all
- The competition is outside (it is so common in large companies to fight inside battles)
- Diverse teams perform better
- People are different
- Learn the language of business (which seems to be “put all people proposals in € cost and € impact”, numbers matter.)
- Find the talent
- Be flexible
- Focus and Vision (you must have both)
- Tech is getting smaller
- Keep your people healthy
- Titles matter (but really only to the person who has the title)
- Digital natives expect greater control

Exercising the mind – Improving mental acuity

Use it or lose it
The term neuroplasticity describes the brain’s ever changing structure and activity. Whether a brain is growing, declining or unchanging is dependent on things like an individual’s genes and day-to-day habits and experiences.
Wilma Koustaal, Ph.D, a cognitive neuroscientist, describes a study illustrating neuroplasticity in her 2012 award-winning book The Agile Mind. All participants int he study initially had a brain scan to determine the sturcture of their brains. half of the participants were asked to learn a three-ball cascade juggling routine in the three-months that followed. They all succeeded at the task. The other half were told to live as usual and come back in three months. next, all participants underwent a second brain scan. The jugglers’ brains showed an increase int he number of neurons, particularly in areas connected to motion sensitivity and visual-spatial attention. The brains of the non-jugglers…

rewiring the brain…
“a new understanding of what it means to be human”
From TIME Magazine, Jan 19, 2007:
The Brain: How The Brain Rewires Itself
Not only can the brain learn new tricks, but it can also change its structure and function–even in old age
It was a fairly modest experiment, as these things go, with volunteers trooping into the lab at Harvard Medical School to learn and practice a little five-finger piano exercise. Neuroscientist Alvaro Pascual-Leone instructed the members of one group to play as fluidly as they could, trying to keep to the metronome’s 60 beats per minute. Every day for five days, the volunteers practiced for two hours. Then they took a test.
At the end of each day’s practice session, they sat beneath a coil of wire that sent a brief magnetic pulse into the motor cortex of their…
