In organizations around the world, leaders are facing a deluge of urgent issues: a crisis in employee engagement, the need to make workforces more diverse, and the challenge of making workplaces feel human in an era of increasing dependence on technology and remote communication.
At the NeuroLeadership Institute, we believe brain science can help provide solutions. Join us on Your Brain At Work, the official podcast of the NeuroLeadership Institute — where top researchers and thought leaders share breakthroughs in brain science and industry leaders reveal the strategies behind their success.
By helping them understand how the brain works, we equip leaders with the tools to transform their organizations — building new habits and changing how people work, communicate, and make decisions. Combining research and practice, brain science and business leadership, Your Brain at Work explores how insights from the lab can provide solutions that work across industries and at any scale.
Season 1 guests include broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien; Dean Carter, Director of Human Resources, Finance, Legal, Shared Services at Patagonia; Deb Bubb, Vice President of Learning and Inclusion at IBM; and FD Wilder, Senior Vice President of Go-To-Market Strategy and Innovation at Procter & Gamble.

Leadership Essentials: The Science of Team Motivation
In a fast-moving world, what, exactly, is a great leader's role in mobilizing others at work? This week, join the NLI community to learn how to communicate more effectively and bring others to their won insights faster.
Join Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro in a community discussion to explore what it takes to sustainably lead yourself and your teams to optimal performance.
We'll look at the science behind:
How managers can best learn to build strong connections, ensure shared understanding, and accelerate insights so that interactions are efficient and effective.
The importance of setting the right course by personalizing interactions, setting great goals, and delegating so you can supercharge your own productivity - and that of your reports.
Why inspiring great work is all about making ongoing feedback the norm, and part of effectively maintaining momentum and bridging performance gaps so you can optimize motivation and engagement.

Leadership Essentials: The Science of Self-Management
Every organization wants to be at the cutting edge of its industry, become a coveted employer and beat profit projections quarter over quarter. To get there, leaders themselves need to be able to make the best decisions and cultivate an environment in which everyone can do their best work. Of course, they need optimal cognitive capacity to rise to that challenge.
Join Dr. David Rock and NLI Managing Editor Dr. Laura Cassiday to kick off a series centered on how leaders can optimize their own brain health and by extension, sustainably fortify their organization’s business position.

The Connection Conundrum Ft. Khalil Smith (Akamai Technologies)
In the three years since flexible work has transformed from emergency mode to a mainstream way of working, it’s encountered no shortage of unique challenges and opportunities along the way. Among those challenges? Intentionally building and maintaining workplace culture — shared everyday habits — in a setting so often mediated by digital distance.
Research indicates that a sense of connectedness (something many employees say they aren't getting) is one of the primary levers for employee engagement and retention. It’s what has some leaders believing that returning to office will alleviate the "connection crisis". Yet, a staggering number of employees say they'll exit if forced back into the office.
On this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, we'll welcome Khalil Smith (Akamai Technologies) and Dr. David Rock to explore this complicated conflict — and point to evidence-based practices for closing the connection gap without forcing a return to office. -

How do organizations that prioritize psychological safety differ — in terms of business performance — from those that don't?

On this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Dr. Emma Sarro and Dr. Ryan Curl provide answers to these questions and more — sharing key findings from our latest NeuroLeadership Journal, "Managing Threat Response in the Workplace".
Customer Reviews
Great Content, Sound Quality should be improved
The NLI is an excellent organization that’s doing a lot of important research on how we work. I truly enjoy this podcast and have added it to my library. The only constructive point I have is that all interviewees (including Dr. Rock) should all be interviewed in a real studio. Listening to someone via Skype is not the sound quality I would expect from an organization this size. If you’re a home podcaster it’s one thing, if you’re an international organization the expectation is different.
Quiet Leadership
My life was changed by David Rock’s book Quiet Leadership. The title intrigued me because I enjoyed leading in school and sports, but I talked a lot. After reading the book I found that some of my approach was solid, some of it was less likely to provide for growth or insights. Mr. Rock’s title is tidy like his model for provoking insights through others, yourself, and the team. A quintessential tool in mankind’s tool belt, a true thanks. This podcast is phenomenal and provides science related to topics on a variety of scales.
Great Content, Great Guests
I listened to the most recent episode with Dr. Lisa Aziz-Zadeh and Dr. David Rock and they had some great insights into ways to combat burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance. I never realized how multifaceted empathy is when it comes to the neuroscience of related emotions that create the emotion. As a small business owner, I always strive to be empathetic with my team and resonate with their employees on a human level, but this episode gave me some tips on how to better assist them in their day-to-day lives. Shelby asked thought-provoking questions which allowed Lisa and David to respond with great detail on his experiences - a true testament to her hosting.
