Wiring the Brain for Leadership Excellence with Dr. Conor Hogan
Manage episode 500434243 series 3567325
Dr. Conor Hogan takes us on a fascinating journey through the neural pathways of effective leadership in this mind-expanding conversation. Drawing from his unique background—from coaching sports as a teenager to working with special needs children and eventually earning his PhD—Hogan reveals how neuroscience principles can transform your leadership approach.
The discussion begins with Hogan's remarkable early leadership experiences at just 14 years old, directing adults at his family's golf course. These formative moments taught him to read group dynamics, identify key influencers, and communicate effectively across age gaps—skills that translate perfectly to today's complex workplace environments.
The conversation takes a deeply human turn when discussing authenticity in leadership. Both host and guest share vulnerable personal stories, including Jay's experience caring for his father with dementia. These moments underscore Hogan's key message: vulnerability creates connection rather than weakness.
