I’ll be speaking at the ‘Brain for Business‘ workshop with a great line-up of other speakers on the 8th September 2017. Places are limited – book now!
I regularly speak at academic, industry and nongovernmental organisation workshops and seminars.
In these talks, I explore the brain systems supporting learning, memory, cognition and decision-making and the brain systems affected by stress, anxiety, depression and motivation.
I also explore the application of brain and behavioural science within businesses and organisations. I have developed a range of specialist research material, and written a contracted textbook in this area (‘A Brain for Business – A Brain for Life‘). Topics include stress, resilience, mindsets, status, bias, person/brand perception and cognitive advertising.
PODCASTS – I have appeared on RTE, BBC, Newstalk and other radio stations. Here are a few podcasts:
This is a piece I did on NewsTalk FM on #Brexit – focusing on memory, the reminiscence bump and confirmation bias in reasoning about difficult problems (and the power of narrative over mere facts and data!)
