Understanding the Brain Behind Behavior, Motivation, and Change with Lisa Riegel
Tuesday, 10 March, 2026
Why do so many well-intentioned efforts to improve engagement, well-being, and performance fall short? In this episode of The Panther Pulse, I’m joined by Lisa Riegel, educator, researcher, author, and expert in the neuroscience of engagement. With over 25 years of experience working in schools and organizations, Lisa helps leaders, educators, and families understand how the brain drives behavior, motivation, and resilience.Together, we explore how stress hijacks thinking, why self-awareness is foundational for emotional regulation, and how schools, families, and individuals can move from compliance to true commitment. This conversation offers practical, brain-based insights for students navigating pressure, educators facing burnout, and parents supporting kids in a complex world.
