Habits and habitual skills can be your greatest assets in professional and personal life, but in many situations, they also act as barriers to optimal performance and accessing your full potential.

In this session, we dive into the neuroscience of habitual and adaptive behaviors with Jaakko Kopra. We will discuss executive functions, self-development, leadership, stress, and emotions.
