Event #9 - Boost Your Brain

L&D Professionals Forum #9
Thursday 17 September, 2009

What is the theme/topic of the event?


The focus of this event is boosting your brain and we will do this through exploring the emerging field of neuroplasticity. This compelling presentation will be delivered by Dr Helena Popovic – medical practitioner and expert in peak performance.

Why should you attend?

The emerging field of neuroplasticity has shown that our brain can change its own structure and function. It can grow new cells, new circuits and new connections in response to what we do, what we think and how we behave.

We are no longer passive victims of our genes but play an active role in how our brain develops throughout our entire life. However, the enormous personal power this gives us is yet to be fully realised.

This presentation distils the essence of the neuroplastic revolution and gives practical suggestions you can implement immediately to improve the functioning of your brain.

By applying this knowledge, you will:


  1. sharpen your thinking
  2. improve your concentration and memory
  3. expand your creativity
  4. increase your capacity for learning and problem solving
  5. reduce your risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders and Alzheimer’s disease
  6. prevent the cognitive decline we’ve mistakenly believed was inevitable with ageing
  7. perform at your peak on a daily basis
  8. achieve far more than you ever thought possible


This event will benefit those of you who are:


- keen to explore the emerging field of neuroplasticity; and

- open to new ways of boosting our greatest asset - our brain.
