Love The Brain You're In

From different backgrounds, Kate, a post-graduate student in cognitive psychology and computational modelling, and Chris, an engineer, have reached a common commitment to understand that what makes us human affects whether we thrive or flounder at work.

Understanding the brain benefits both you and your work. Using familiar lean concepts, and examples from our practice, we'll share the science and experiences we are aware of, adding to our understanding of why we do what we do.
