TEDxPugetSound - Andre Golard, PhD - The Neuroscience of Eureka Moments

Andre Golard, MBA, PhD, spends his days exploring the fascinating nexus between brain science and business performance. Drawing upon his dual background as a scientist and business leader, he is able to tease out the "so what?" behind the latest developments in neuroscience and explain how these discoveries translate into effective leadership, communication, and decision- making behavior.
His talk revolves around trusting the steady hand. The body and the mind make realizations well before the "aha moment" that an idea has traction.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

Great explanation for how neurons in the brain work together to form ideas, and from the combination of ideas to generate the "eureka moments" that we associate with breakthrough thinking. The connection to the apprentice model for teaching executives how to lead is intriguing. It feels like we're in the early days of understanding how neuroscience applies to management and leadership, which is very exciting.
