DALLAS, TEXAS, Sept. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chief Outsiders, LLC, the nation’s leading strategic marketing firm comprised solely of C-level marketing executives, has teamed up with Vistage Worldwide, a global organization that assembles and facilitates private advisory boards for CEOs, to present an innovative program designed to help business leaders better understand one of life’s great mysteries – the function of the brain.

“Flex Your Cortex – 7 Secrets to Turbocharge Your Brain,” is the subject of this compelling program, set for Wednesday, Sept. 30 at the University of Texas at Dallas Center for BrainHealth. This invitation-only presentation is sponsored in part by Chief Outsiders.

Sandra Bond Chapman, PhD, founder and chief director of the Center and author of “Make Your Brain Smarter,” will share seven scientifically validated secrets that anyone can implement to improve brain performance.

“In today’s fast-paced, endlessly tasked and technology-tied world, it’s easy to get caught in a vicious cycle of brain-draining habits,” said Dr. Chapman. “I am excited to share our neuroscience-based strategies that revive mental energy, increase innovation, and boost team productivity.” 

Chief Outsiders – one of the Inc. Magazine’s 1,000 fastest growing privately held companies in the U.S., and a national sponsor of Vistage Worldwide – has teamed up with Vistage for similar events, in a bid to help foster a greater understanding of the intangibles that move business forward.

“This event is particularly useful to business executives because it is designed around networking with fellow professionals and building on skills to solve problems and enhance productivity,” said Art Saxby, Chief Outsiders’ CEO. “We are honored to be selected to be one of only six national Vistage sponsors for crucial business events like ‘Meet the Leaders’ this year.”
