Lucinda is joined by Neuroleadership Development Professional, John Whitfield, for a masterclass in neuroscience, how we can best make sure our brains are working optimally, and also its applications in the workplace.

 Key Takeaways
During any given day, we only use the optimal power of our prefrontal cortex for around two to three hours, which is why it's so crucial that we prioritise our day effectively.
Prioritise important tasks for the beginning of the day as this is when we are at our most effective. Therefore, our brain will have the energy to be brilliant!
Certainly, look at your daily routine and examine the effects of your sleep patterns upon it. Remember that your day actually begins the night before, when your brain prepares you for the day ahead.
We should endeavour to eat dinner at least four hours before we head to bed. This will give our bodies the best chance of falling asleep instead of working to digest the food we've eaten, leading to a better night's sleep.
