This empowering session draws on research in the fields of psychology, performance, and neuroscience. It looks at what really drives excellence and how our talent is not a gift we are born with, but something that is developed through opportunity, commitment, and ‘deep’ practice. It explores how our beliefs around the nature of talent can transform our psychology and therefore our success in work and in life.
