The Journey from Self-Awareness to Team Resilience!

A Modern Leadership Experience Rooted in Neuroscience

What if leadership began with understanding what shapes our thoughts, reactions, and relationships….before a single decision is made?

The Journey from Self-Awareness to Team Resilience invites leaders to pause and look inward, to understand how the brain shapes what we notice, how we react, and how we connect. Grounded in neuroscience and brought to life through conversation and reflection, this experience helps participants see the patterns behind their choices and the ripple effect those choices have on the teams they lead.

IAEE’s Leadership Institute, for IAEE members only,  provides the leaders of tomorrow with a tailored immersive educational program that develops one’s leadership competencies, skills and broad industry knowledge while creating a close network among participants through applied learning concepts, shared discussions, and self-reflection.

Leaders will explore how emotion, trust, and communication intersect in everyday moments, the places where culture is quietly built. Through evidence-based insights and shared discovery, participants leave with a deeper understanding of themselves and a clearer path toward creating resilient, connected teams.

This isn’t about rewiring who you are….it’s about seeing yourself with new awareness, leading with intention, and building teams that can thrive in the moments that matter most.

  • It is an in-depth program and participants are required to be fully present for all hours of the program and scheduled activities, arriving the day prior to event start date and staying until the program concludes on Friday at 12 PM EST.

Through active participation, you will be able to:

  • Understand the neuroscience of leadership and how brain-based responses influence decisions and relationships.
  • Identify personal triggers and reframe failure as a driver of growth and innovation.
  • Build self-awareness that strengthens trust, empathy, and psychological safety within teams.
  • Develop communication habits that foster engagement and resilience.
  • Translate personal insight into actionable strategies that enhance team performance.

Why Attend?

  • Growth begins with awareness….of ourselves, of our teams, and of the space between. This program offers the rare opportunity to slow down and look at leadership through a new lens: one grounded in science, curiosity, and the shared human experience.
  • You’ll explore how insight becomes influence, how understanding the brain’s patterns can spark more transparent communication, deeper trust, and stronger connections across your team.
  • Whether you lead a few or many, you’ll leave with practical tools, renewed energy, and a fresh perspective on what it means to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to do their best work.
  • Earn 8.25 clock hours and a certificate from IAEE’s Leadership Institute upon completion.
