Dr Jon Finn:
Jon began his career in elite sport - mainly professional football, rugby, cricket and golf. His work focused on helping people to perform to their potential. He realised that the same approach could be adapted to help a broader range of people, of all ages and in all walks of life. So he founded Tougher Minds and began developing and delivering training in education and business to groups of varying sizes. The programmes has reached over 10,000 people during the last decade. The consultancy is now well established in the corporate sector and works with companies in the City of London, the US and Europe. Tougher Minds’ programmes have been recognised for their effectiveness. This includes the Independent School Association’s Education Initiative of the Year award. We have also advised the Department of Education, and think-tank DEMOS on developing resilience in young people. "In order to ensure our training is rooted in the most up to date understanding of neuroscience" Dr Finn completed a PhD at Leeds Beckett University in 2015.
Dr Shima Beigi comments:
In this episode of ideaxme Rich Connectedness Podcast series , I , Dr. Shima Beigi , Founder of Mindfulness Engineering™️ has connected with Resilience and Performance expert Dr. Jon Finn of tougher mind together we explore brain health and resilience. In today’s complex world, leaders of industry are becoming aware of the fact that their global challenges require them to utilise their brain in a completely different way, build resilience and acquire a new mindset. Resilience is defined as the capacity of a complex system to withstand changes of its surrounding space and to adapt continuously. But, what it takes to build resilience is more than a definition. To be resilient, it is necessary to acquire what’s called the Growth Mindset. The concept of growth mindset is at the heart of resilience, building a growth mindset allows us to see the world in the learning process and seek solutions. Jon and I discuss how we can unleash the hidden powers of our brains and minds, change our behaviour and transform our lives.
