We hear a lot about psychology but what about physiology? The science of human physiology is deeply connected with thoughts, behaviors, and work performance. Serotonin, oxytocin, cortisol, and dopamine hugely impact humans' ability to connect and be well. Participants will receive strategies on how to increase their awareness and take action based on these human factors, which will not only improve their performance but also aid them in promoting the talent and well-being of others.

Attendees will:

• gain a deeper understanding of the psychology and physiology important to all human connection and performance and learn the role of serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol in their experiences both at home and at work.

• have (at minimum) two innovative tools to apply individually to better manage stress, improve connections, and enhance cognition.

• be able to identify at least one environmental factor that could negatively impact their or their team's wellness; feedback can then be provided to help manage factors.
