“It is no longer about the survival of the fittest, it is about the survival of the fitters.” Thomas Malloy.

You’re either the Fittest or a Fitter.

The Fittest pit themselves against life’s obstacles, trying to overcome problems through sheer effort and determination, using tactics that worked in the past or play to their strengths. Even if they win, they end up drained of vital energy needed for the next challenge. And the good life they might enjoy vanishes with significant changes in their environment. The Fittest don’t always survive.

Fitters are different. They’re flexible. They realise that life is a matter of adapt or die. So they do. Rather than resist the problem, they create the physical and mental resources they need to find solutions – to grow in their environment. And they thrive.

But adaptation takes time. And flexibility can be unnerving when you’re so used to doing things one way. Positive change has always been difficult. Until now, that is.

There is a remarkable behaviour amongst homo sapiens. We spend a lot of time looking outward for ways to improve our mental prowess, driven mainly by increased competition and personal frustration. Courses, masterminds, games – you name it. And yet your most unique resource is already inside your head. You own a unique, state of the art, mega-power tool that took 9 months to manufacture called the human brain. The model that you own is truly one of a kind. As unique as your fingerprint. The only limitation is that you, most likely, don’t have an operating manual to explain the construct of your brain and how to make full use all of its features.

Even better news is that you can find out all about your brain through a simple 15 – 20 minute online questionnaire that will be unpacked for you in an hour’s, live, coaching session with a professional, Accredited Practitioner.

Exciting times for Dr Melodie de Jager and Mind Dynamix Institute at the 2019 International Confederation of Principals Convention, China.

Melodie's workshop takes place tomorrow, 23 October from 16:00 - 17:00. Her session falls within the 'Creating the Future' category. The convention takes place at East China Normal University, Shanghai, China.

UNLOCK YOUR AUTHENTIC PERSONAL POWER:
a neuroscience perspective on leadership.
By Dr Melodie de Jager

Successful leadership is personal. You have to be authentic to be successful. Authenticity is amongst others influenced by genetics, life experiences and the choices you’ve made or failed to make.

At the Mind Moves Institute in Johannesburg we have found that the interplay between these three factors tend to compound over time and become hard wired in your brain and body as basic programming that underpins your leadership.

This ‘basic programming’ may be perceived as default behaviour and why not all leaders lead in the same way. It is what makes you unique. Hence some leadership skills and qualities may come to you naturally, for example to plan, delegate and budget, while public speaking may be a stressor. Or, public speaking, people management and innovative problem solving may be your core competencies, while administration, spelling and budgets may be stressors. Your basic programming may be the reason why you approach a child, a teacher and a parent as a who and not a what and why being caring and understanding makes leading more fulfilling, but complex.

You are not a victim of your basic programming. Human programming is called neuroscience and due to neuroplasticity can be pruned and expanded through reflection and moulding to acquire additional skills and dissolve stress.

This session would enable you to –
• reflect on your genetics, life experiences, choices and the interplay between them
• appreciate where you came from and what shaped your brain structures, feelings and thoughts that brought you to this moment in time as a leader
• take a step closer to authentic leadership
• identify your unique stress profile and how to harness neuroscience principals to dissolve stress
• offer movement based self-management tools to unleash your authentic personal power.

This interactive, evidence based presentation/workshop will underline why Malloy says: ‘It’s no longer about the survival of the fittest, it is about the survival of the fitter’ - the leader who can adapt to fit, while staying authentic.

Henry David Thoreau

We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only the wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground. At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander.

Mind Dynamix – unlocking authentic personal power

Have you ever wished that you were a fly on the wall where you could observe your behavior and understand it?

In this one-day Mind Dynamix – unlocking authentic personal power workshop, we introduce you to the Mind Dynamix Profiles®, an instrument that allows each individual to gain understanding of their own strengths and blind spots in the coaching relationship. As a truly South African instrument developed by Dr Melodie de Jager, the Mind Dynamix Profile is a fun process of self-discovery, using neuroscience principles. Through a process of self-evaluation on 14 different variables, a Mind Dynamix Profile establishes an individual’s profile on the gathering and flow of information, and resultant outputs of participants. It highlights areas of strength, areas of growth and provides Mind Moves gear changers for self-management, providing the perfect starting point for any client - coach relationship.

It must be stressed that the Mind Dynamix Profile is a functional model, and NOT a psychometric assessment, diagnosis or personality labelling instrument.

OUTCOMES
The participants will:
• Gain insight into their own physiology and behaviour, and how it impacts on their coaching practice.
• Discover their own Mind Dynamix Profile.
• Understand the role of stress in behaviour patterns and performance.
• Gain insights into the beneficial role of physical movement to enhance the coaching relationship.

PRESENTATION APPROACH & METHOD
This workshop is highly interactive to mesh theory with practical experience.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Any coach or mentor who is interested in gaining insights about themselves, their clients and the teams that they work with will benefit from this workshop.

PRESENTER
Mickey von Maltitz is a learning and development specialist, and executive coach who has had a distinguished career, providing leadership across all levels of people development in the South African environment. She has used the Mind Dynamix Profiles in her practice for many years and conducted intensive research into the use of the profile as a starting point for changing behaviour in a coaching environment.

DURATION
8 hour interactive workshop, with questions answered on a continuous basis while the audience participates in activities.

WHEN
4 April 2019, 08h00-16h00.

WHERE
Mind Moves Institute, 44 7th Street, Linden, Johannesburg.

Die geheime van die brein
met Johan van Lill

19:30-20:00
Maandag 4 Februarie 2019

Hoekom is dit belangrik dat ons breine in omgewings moet funksioneer waar ons met veiligheid foute kan maak? Is onthou en geheue dieselfde ding? Bestaan daar iets soos perfeksionisme? Is hoe jy gebeure onthou, altyd ’n werklike weergawe van wat gebeur het, of is mense se geheue feilbaar? Hoekom slaan mense baie keer toe in ’n eksamen?

Kom luister saam!

Opwindende nuwe radio program! DIE GEHEIME VAN DIE BREIN vanaand op Radio Sonder Grense saam met Johan van Lill.

19:30-20:00
Maandag 7 Januarie 2019

Die mens se brein is ’n misterie waarvan die geheime eers redelik onlangs regtig deur wetenskaplikes en neuroloë begin ontsyfer is. Is alle breine dieselfde en kan breine oor tyd verander? Is daar iets soos linker- of regterbreinmense?

Kom luister saam!
