The Future of Leadership: How Virtual Reality is Shaping Leadership Training
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, innovative technologies are transforming how we approach leadership training and team-building.
Dr. Jeff Rogers, our neuropsychologist, emphasises that “prolonged stress not only disrupts sleep and cardiovascular health but also chips away at mental well-being, leaving us vulnerable to anxiety and depression.” Fortunately, there are actionable techniques to help manage stress and build resilience.
