Respect and the Brain “Social fairness and respect help employees learn. When we show interest in others, support them and praise them genuinely, we ‘squirt’ a chemical mix of serotonin and oxytocin into their brains. These neurotransmitters encourage trust, open others’ minds to our ideas, and create desire to get to know us better and to help with whatever we need done.” Ellen Weber, Ph.D.Director , MITA International Brain Based Center

Self-directed Neuroplasticity “The brain changes as a function of where an individual focuses his or her attention. Every time I vent, I grow and link new brain cells for that purpose, and over time, I get better at it. But you can focus your attention on positive behavior and grow those connections as well. The basal ganglia can be wired for positive or toxic behavior. It’s up to each individual to decide which will become more predominant.” Ellen Weber, Ph.D.Director , MITA International Brain Based Center
