Presenter:  Karen Pollard, PsyD; Founder of Brain Power Advisors

Program Description: “These are unprecedented times.”  We’ve been hearing this all over the place.  And it’s true!  But, what effect is the COVID quarantine having on your brain?  And is there any hope for your brain to get back to “normal?” In this program, Dr. Karen Pollard, Neuropsychologist and Executive Performance Coach, will discuss details about how the COVID quarantine may be impacting your brain functioning and will help you begin thinking about and planning the steps needed to help circumvent those issues to feel back to “normal.” 

Benefit for Coaches: By understanding the impact that our current situation is having on brain functioning, coaches will be able to increase their own work efficiency and reduce their own stress, while also learning valuable information that they can pass on to their clients and use in their work with their clients to help them in the same way.
