Conference programme
Keynote speaker - Adam Wright, Chimp Management
The programme will include a keynote speech from Adam Wright, a psychological skills mentor at Chimp Management. Adam will introduce the Chimp Model, from the acclaimed book The Chimp Paradox, a powerful mind management model for understanding and managing the functioning of the mind. It is not a hypothesis nor strict scientific fact, but based on the neuroscience of the brain. It is fun to use to gain insight about yourself and others, but meant to be taken seriously when it comes to applying it to real life.
During his time at Chimp Management, Adam has worked with a variety of organisations in all levels of education, working with leaders, staff and students alike.
