Red Brain Blue Brain: Living, loving and leading without fear

We all have two brains, the ‘blue brain’ where we are at our best – confident, collaborative and creative – and the ‘red brain’ where we become self-focused, impulsive and emotional, where we lack choice.

It seems we were born this way, but we weren’t.

The ‘red brain’ is a consequence of how we are brought up, how our society is structured and how society is replicated through our schools.  We learn to manage the ‘red brain’ to a greater or lesser extent, we all know we can do that.

But, we can also cause it to fade away … and not create it in our children in the first place.

It is this insight and how we put it into practice that is key to living, loving and leading without fear.

About the Author

John works with schools to help them achieve the conditions for twenty first century learning. He helps individuals bring their whole of mind to their daily lives, increasing their own effectiveness and that of those around them. This is his passion. Born in Manchester, England, he moved to Australia in 1995 but the journey to this point roved through nine countries, where he picked up four languages, and ranged through a number of careers. He was an officer in the Parachute Regiment and a wireline logging engineer in South America (taking measurements in drilled oil and gas wells), before entering the corporate sector via strategy consulting and corporate planning. John has had a strong interest in education since 2001 and set up Group 8 Education in 2003 to help in the transformation of our education systems. Now living in Melbourne, when not training, coaching or writing, John enjoys travel, Australian Rules Football, good cinema and good food.
