Vannessa McCamley

Reflect on the last time you created a new behaviour to achieve a specific intention or outcome. How much time and energy did it take? What were the key drivers for making a change in the first place?

We tend to change when we experience a significant pain (threat) or pleasure (reward). A key element to successful behavioural change is minimising perceived threats and maximising the positive feelings generated through the brain’s reward circuitry.

Many of our daily actions are automatic, as your brain is on autopilot 95% of the time. For better or worse, our habits shape us.

In this compelling presentation, Vannessa will cover the D.R.I.V.E model:
• Determine your purpose – gain clarity about your vision for success
• Reflect on your thinking – consider the behaviours and mindset you need to reach your vision
• I am statements for self-affirmation – engage the brain circuits connected with self-processing and reward
• Vulnerability – identify the blockages that hold you back and stops you from achieving your purpose
• Exert energy to learn something new – determine the area where you would like to improve your knowledge and skills in the next the 90-days.
