About The Presentation

Alexia Parks, co-founder of 56percent.org, will describe what she calls the “New Science” of a woman’s brain. The focus is on the hardwired brain, the brain that is hardwired by evolutionary biology over 100,000 years or more. In her ground-breaking work, she reports on 40-years of research from a dozen different hard and soft sciences including: split brain research, psychology of perception, hormonal research, and both cultural and physical anthropology to show that a women’s brain is literally hardwired by evolution with exactly the traits that are needed in leadership today. Can these feminine traits, proven and documented by many fields of science, bring a shift in conscious to a more compassionate, caring, empathetic world when brought into balance with the masculine.  She says “Yes!” These 10 traits and the science behind them, says Alexia, represent a New School of Thought.
