Unlocking and Expanding Curiosity: The Key to Thriving in Education and in Life
Unlocking and expanding curiosity is essential for preparing students to thrive in an ever-changing world. Traditional education models, lower, focused on outdated knowledge and skills, often neglect curiosity’s transformative power, leaving students ill-prepared and contributing to anxiety and declining wellbeing. This presentation helps educators foster a culture of curiosity by shifting from teaching answers to inspiring students to ask meaningful questions as a means to discover true understanding, equipping them with the way of being needed to solve hard complex, unknown problems, as well as the desire to do so throughout life. Grounded in neuroscience, the program emphasizes curiosity as the foundation for deeper engagement, lifelong learning, and emotional resilience. Educators gain actionable strategies and principles, including the "play with intention" approach, the 10 Cs (the brain’s innate capacities to evolve itself), and access to AI-driven tools that provide continual assessment that nurtures curiosity. By embedding these practices and principles, schools can foster a culture where students not only excel academically but are empowered to embrace uncertainty and grow into confident, innovative learners.
How Brands Connect with Customers
A brand that delights its audience while creating insight into an essential human value is more creative, has more loyal customers, and generates lasting, authentic impact in the world. Dr. Beau Lotto’s presentation is based on work that his neuro-design studio Lab of Misfits has been doing for years, with the most creative brands in the world (such as Cirque du Soleil), which is helping brands deepen their authenticity by enabling and measuring the impact of their purpose in the world. Beau will explain how to unpack the keys to creating customized, immersive brand experiences that will evolve your brand to build genuine and long-lasting relationships with your key audiences.
Perception & Leadership — A Masterclass
In a more intimate format designed for leadership teams, departments, and smaller groups, Dr. Beau Lotto shows leaders how to create a framework to lead others into uncertainty. Anything interesting begins with doubt — with not knowing. Learn to celebrate that uncertainty, ask questions, search, and discover — the foundation of all progress and breakthroughs. Science can teach participants how to lead better and create an environment that fosters creativity and innovation by understanding the role of perception in every aspect of their lives. Beau provides the group dozens of new ways to think differently about their challenges and successfully innovate, adapt, and build effective teams.
The Power of Doubt: Perceive - Adapt - Thrive
How can we adapt and thrive in times when the ground beneath us is shifting? We begin by questioning the beliefs and assumptions that drive every single one of our actions, decisions, and behaviors. The idea is to find solutions to questions that haven’t been asked yet. Learning to maintain a healthy dose of doubt about what we perceive – keeping our assumptions in check – is crucial. In this completely original, game-changing presentation, neuroscientist Dr. Beau Lotto, known worldwide for his groundbreaking work on the subject, uses hard science to open minds and help audiences see the world and themselves differently. His engaging use of images and videos will have people shaking their heads in disbelief – unable to reconcile what they’re seeing with what they thought to be true. Beau’s stunning, interactive, fun presentation will equip people to challenge their own assumptions and beliefs and come away better able to innovate, collaborate, lead, and adapt to new realities. This presentation is an ideal conference kick-off – providing a powerful, positive, creative context that sets a tone for the content and collaboration that follow.
