This LEADERSHIP SERIES forms part of ANA’s October spotlight on The Brain Economy, culminating in the ANA Worldwide Applied Neuroscience Day (WAND) on 30th October.

The Brain Economy is a new economic paradigm fuelled by Brain Capital, a concept proposed by Eyre and colleagues (2021). Brain Capital prioritises #BrainHealth and #BrainSkills as the 'capital' of global human flourishing and economic resilience.

ANA is contributing to The Brain Economy by building a network of transdisciplinary, cross-sector experts who, as independent academics and professionals, bridge the translation gap between discoveries in the lab and you!

Putting this into practice is Maria Haggo — author and presenter of this Series.

Maria is a Specialist in helping Leaders and Organisations create corporate harmony™. At the heart of her company Transform8 is the NeuroHarmony™ Framework — a science-backed approach that integrates brain health, nervous system regulation and conscious leadership.
