We will draw on organizational, cognitive science, psychobiology to create an immersive experience and unveil the hidden ways our minds perceive and interpret problems.
This session delves into the fascinating neuroscience behind how our minds really work when we face conflicting motivations or difficult dilemmas for which there is no obvious best answer. Attendees will explore real-life dilemmas and learn effective cognitive processes to deal with those dilemmas as revealed by the latest research in neuroscience. We will draw on organizational, cognitive science, psychobiology and even sports psychology to create an immersive experience and unveil the hidden ways our minds perceive and interpret problems.
Major Subjects: • Learn how to resolve competing motivations • Recognize ethically relevant behavioral cues at the individual, team, and organizational levels • Learn the cognitive tools to combat bias and situation blindness • Hear the methods that help teams debate problems effectively • Understand the science behind cultural norms
Researcher and Speaker
Dr. Toby Groves is a researcher and speaker on social-cognitive psychology that has spent the past decade studying decision-making and culture. He conducts innovative research in the areas of professional skepticism, implicit bias, and decisions under pressure, and uses imaginative audience experiments to demonstrate his concepts.
Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
