    Think Better, Lead Better: Helena Boschi reveals the cognitive shortcuts and science-backed habits that power elite workplaces

    Dr Helena Boschi is an applied neuroscientist who has spent years exploring how the human brain works – and, crucially, how we can use that knowledge to improve leadership, decision-making, and the way we work. Helena is the author of Why We Do What We Do, a deep dive into the quirks, biases, and vulnerabilities of the human mind. Her business, Chequered Leopard, bridges the gap between cutting-edge neuroscience and real-world application, helping leaders and organisations harness brain science to create better workplace cultures, boost performance, and drive innovation. From the impact of stress on decision-making to the myths surrounding memory, attention, and creativity, Helena brings a wealth of insight into how our brains shape everything we do. Hosted on Acast.
