Jeffs books include The Mind and the Brain and the bestseller Brain Lock. Jeff lives in Santa Monica Ca.

    David Rock
    David is an author, consultant, and lecturer. He created a global coaching organization that has trained over 5,000 professionals.

    Neuroscience says

    The brain hardwires everything it can

    Working memory

    Versus

    Hardwiring
    Massive capacity, minimal effort needed

    Working Memory is like a Stage


    Used for:
    Understanding Decisions Remembering

    Challenges:
    Limited capacity

    Working memory

    Easily distracted Energy intensive

    Attention is like a spotlight

    Neuroscience says

    Attention changes the brain

    Attention density

    Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE)


    The mental act of focusing attention holds in place brain circuits associated with what is focused on.

    2006 Jeffrey M Schwartz and David Rock

    Neuroscience says

    Insight is at the heart of learning

    The four faces of insight

    1. Awareness

    2. Reflection

    4. Action

    3. Insight

    The four faces of insight


    2. Reflection

    By EEG: Alpha band waves arise, signifying external stimuli being shut out of the senses to focus on internal processes.

    The four faces of insight


    3. Insight

    By EEG: Sudden burst of gamma band activity, associated with complex cognitive processing. Represents a change in internal circuitry.

    The four faces of insight


    3. Insight

    Adrenaline-like substances are released Dopamine-like substances are released

    In summary
    The role of leadership is to help others develop the most useful hardwiring.

    2006 Jeffrey M Schwartz and David Rock

    In summary
    The power is in the focus.
