Topics for Dr Lila Landowski

A neuroscientist’s guide to stress, burnout, and resilience in a modern world
Stress is more than just a feeling it's a hardwired, physical response. It is almost impossible to escape stress under the pressures of modern society. This can be problematic, especially at work and in our private lives, because long term stress turns us into more volatile and irrational versions of ourselves; altering our behaviour and emotions through its physical effects on brain size and structure, how brain cells connect, and how they function, right down to the level of our genes - and can eventually lead to burnout. The good news is, we can help reverse (or protect ourselves) from the effects of long term stress, using a range of cost-free behavioural interventions. This is particularly important because we often can't control the source of stress in our daily lives. Dr Landowski will explore the neuroscience of stress and burnout and take the audience through evidence-based approaches to improve resilience in a modern world.
A neuroscientist's guide to leadership in a world of chaos
In a world where change is the only constant, understanding the impact of our environment on our brain and behaviour is more critical than ever. Dr Landowski’s talk will explore the brain's remarkable plasticity, demonstrating how age does not necessarily hinder our ability to acquire new knowledge and skills. Through examining cutting-edge research, she will introduce effective, science-backed methods to enhance learning and adaptability in the workplace and at home. Dr. Landowski will also shed light on the physical and psychological ramifications of stress - from its origins as a survival mechanism, to how it can impair our decision making, turn us into angry, irrational versions of ourselves, and lead to burnout. By weaving together these interconnected topics, attendees will leave equipped with actionable neuroscience-based tools to thrive in the midst of transition, improve team dynamics, and safeguard their mental health against the challenges of life.
The adaptation advantage: A neuroscientist's guide to learning faster
Our brains change as we age, making it significantly harder to learn - but it doesn't mean an old dog can't learn new tricks! Learn from the neuroscientist behind the viral TEDx talk on learning, and discover smarter ways to learn than whatever it is you're doing right now. Dr Landowski will take you on a journey through the brain, examining some of the existing research on learning, and empower you with tools that help you learn faster and more effectively.
