The human brain was never designed to function in the classroom or the cubicle in corporate America, and renowned Seattle brain scientist John Medina, PhD has the scientific proof.
In this episode, Medina shares a wealth of knowledge based on his book “Brain Rules for Work.” He explains why a nap in the afternoon at work can lead to a 30+% increase in productivity, why teams with more women are better for your bottom line, and how power can corrupt managers and lead them down a very dark path.
Medina also covers in-person vs. remote work, the secret to keeping the attention of your audience during presentations, and why Zoom and Teams calls leave us exhausted.
Medina’s style is engaging and funny, and his advice will help you better understand your brain’s strengths and weaknesses in the workplace.
