This Month's Speaker

Laila Kramer (Career Coach & Fractional HR Leader)

Topic of Main Talk - The Neuroscience of Trust

Trust is a measurable driver of performance, not a vague cultural ideal. Neuroscience research shows that oxytocin, the brain chemical that promotes connection and collaboration, is triggered by leadership behaviours. High-trust organisations see greater productivity, collaboration, and retention, while low-trust environments suffer from disengagement and chronic stress. This talk explores eight proven behaviours you can use to build and sustain trust in teams and how these can be embedded into day-to-day leadership practice.
