From Fear to Connection: The Neuroscience of Authentic Leadership with George Brooks
Description
Ever wondered why your best ideas come at 4 AM? Neuroscience reveals that the brain’s early-morning transition from delta to theta and alpha waves creates the perfect conditions for creativity and problem-solving.
In this inspiring conversation, leadership coach George Brooks shares how understanding our brain can transform the way we lead, work, and live. From regulating the amygdala (the fear centre of the brain) to reframing problems as opportunities, George offers practical tools to move beyond micromanagement, stress, and control — and into innovation, empathy, and authentic connection.
We also explore George’s seven-year sobriety journey and the powerful cognitive benefits it unlocked: sharper memory, deeper emotional regulation, and enhanced awareness. His personal story shows how healing and self-leadership directly strengthen our ability to lead others.
Whether you’re leading a team, a business, or your own life, this episode uncovers how neuroscience can help you step into a new era of trust, creativity, and human-centred leadership.
