What will contribute most to our collective thriving, our collective resilience, is the quality of our relationships - and the key to enhancing relationships is understanding. 

- **The psychology of 'feeling' understood:** The importance of psychological safety, and how it reduces imposter syndrome, as well as the impact on our baseline relaxed physiological state.
- **Understanding cognitive contributions of different age groups:** The strengths and weaknesses of different age groups, and how to utilize these for best organizational outcomes.
- **A neurobehavioral blueprint for understanding:** The role of mindfulness in  overcoming the biggest barrier to understand, which is our unconscious misreading of the intentions of others.
- **It takes courage to understand.**

Dr Chrisna Swart, neuroscientist and consultant at Neurozone, highlights the importance understanding, and makes one think about how one can actively engage in meaningful ways to bring this about.
