The Brain for Business podcast takes the lessons from evidence-based academic research in the brain, behavioural and organisational sciences – neuroscience, psychology, behavioural economics and more – and brings them to life for a business and organisational audience. Over the series we will speak to a range of neuroscientists, psychologists, behavioural economists, researchers and organisational practitioners, and look at some of the key aspects of human behaviour relevant to business and management practice. In so doing, we will seek to understand not just the what but also the how and the why – and how it can be done differently Our overall goal? To build a bridge from research into the brain and behavioural sciences to practical, everyday insights and to help leaders at all levels within organisations enhance their effectiveness.

To discuss this, I am delighted to be joined on the Brain for Business podcast by Matt Nadel.
