Businesses and Corporations

The Nectar Group partners with businesses from small to large to provide unique professional development and resources for employees, managers, and leaders. 

Benefits of partnering with The Nectar Group:

1.

Professional development through cognitive training for employees at all levels of the organization through our Brain Boost for Professional Performance Program. This program is a unique and exciting opportunity for professionals to improve their cognitive function and thus increase their performance on the job.

Our cognitive function is how we think, remember, and problem solve, and is determined by seven key cognitive skills:

SHORT TERM MEMORY:

This is the ability to hold information while completing a task, such as taking notes or completing a multi-step process. When it is weak, employees may forget parts of verbal directions or take longer to complete tasks by needing to review information more than typical.

LONG TERM MEMORY:

This is the ability to hold information for future recall and use. Policies, procedures, client names and details are all recalled when needed with accuracy when this is high.

PROCESSING SPEED:

This can be thought of as the brain’s internet speed. When processing speed is high, work is able to be completed quickly and accurately and learning new skills is faster! Slow processing results in tasks taking longer than expected and frustration for both the employee and supervisors.

ATTENTION:

We all know how important our attention is to being organized, focused, and effective team members. Important areas of attention are sustained attention (length of attention span), selective attention (the ability to focus in on the most important priority and ignore distractions), and divided attention (the ability to task switch and multitask).

VISUAL PROCESSING:

This is the mind’s eye. It helps us comprehend and problem solve by allowing us to visualize information and scenarios, and “see” solutions or options in our minds. It is how we create vision and then make a plan for that vision to come into reality.

AUDITORY PROCESSING:

This is the mind’s ear. It allows us to process and remember verbal information. Employees with strong auditory processing skills are able to effectively take in, understand, retain, and implement information presented verbally via phone, meetings, and one-to-one interactions.

LOGIC AND REASONING:

Arguably the most important skill for the workplace, this is the ability to problem solve, think out of the box, and complete “if this, then this” thinking to accurately predict, project, and implement plans and solutions to problems.

This one-to-one program is 10 weeks in duration and raises IQ, increases problem solving and critical thinking skills, and ensures employees are working at optimal levels by improving their mental speed and memory. Interested in this offering? Contact us for details!

Through Nectar University, The Nectar Group provides complimentary webinars and workshops for employees and employers on a variety of brain related topics that impact employees and their families and thus job performance.

See our most popular offerings below:

Optimizing Brain Health to Improve Work Performance

Join us to understand the causes for executive function disorders, treatment options for improving these important skills, and how to overcome executive function challenges! 

Critical Thinking Skills: Upscaling the brain for effective problem solving

When asked what skills employers are looking for in successful employees capable of providing management and leadership, critical thinking and problem-solving capability tops the list. Learn how the brain problem solves, how to develop critical thinking skills, and options to improve and grow as a strategic problem solver. 

Moldable Brain: Using neuroplasticity to treat the root cause of learning disabilities

Did you know that the brain is able to change and rewire to overcome learning and thinking challenges? Come learn about the amazing, malleable brain and how to harness this ability to overcome learning and thinking challenges at any age. 

Parenting Children with Learning Challenges: Options for treatments that work

There are so many options to help children with learning difficulties but most of them focus on work arounds to accommodate or compensate for the disabilities. In this session, you’ll learn the primary cause of learning disabilities and the research backed treatments available that target and treat the root causes of learning difficulties. 

Putting ADHD into Focus: Treating the root cause of attention and focus disorders

ADHD is a common disorder that causes difficulties at home, socially, and in the workplace. Join us to learn everything you need to know about ADHD. We’ll cover symptoms, diagnosis, and research-based options for treatments that work!

Traumatic Brain Injury: Real hope for recovery

Attendees will learn about the impact of concussion and traumatic brain injury and the lingering effects and impact that post-concussive syndrome can have. We’ll look at the relationship between traumatic brain injury and addiction and the unique risks for substance abuse and relapse when TBI and addiction are co-occurring. Treating TBI is crucial to optimizing performance and the great news is there is tremendous hope for TBI recovery even years after injury.

Cognitive Function and Addiction Recovery: Using principles from neuroscience to rewire the brain for successful sobriety

Addiction impacts people from all cultures, socioeconomic classes, and demographic groups. Addiction negatively impacts cognitive function and low cognitive skills due to substance abuse, traumatic brain injury, or learning disabilities slows the process of recovery and increases the risk of relapse. Join us to learn the role cognitive skills play in successful recovery and to understand how to treat thinking skills such as logic & reasoning, processing speed, and attention and focus in addition to changing behavior when treating substance abuse.
