Nada Wentzel: The Jonah Group

Nada Wentzel is Global Solutions Director at the Jonah Group. She is a master coach, facilitator and international speaker, with qualifications in mechanical engineering, neuroscience, and organizational psychology.

Key Points

  • In terms of decision-making, the brain doesn’t actually know the difference between imaginary and real.
  • The thought of something bad happening can shift our direction.
  • Pain is an 8x stronger motivator than pleasure.
  • We’re designed to respond well to stress, but we are not designed to be in a chronic stress mode.
  • This about a 2-degree shift and how far a little adjustment can take you.
  • Create an optimal stress level that keeps people engaged but not burnt out.
  • Discuss the three H’s: Heartache, hero, highlight
