Wired to Work | Neuroscience, Psychology & Leadership

by Jessica Chapman | Neuroplastician & Workplace Strategist

Wired to Work explores the science behind how we think, lead and perform. Hosted by workplace strategist Jess Chapman, the podcast explores the neuroscience, psychology and human behaviour behind leadership and workplace performance, and what science can teach us about working better. From burnout, decision-making and workplace culture to neurodiversity, leadership, behaviour change and performance, Jess talks with researchers, experts and leaders about what’s really happening in our brains, bodies and workplaces. For leaders, managers and anyone curious about why we behave the way we do at work, Wired to Work turns the science of human behaviour into practical insights for working, leading and performing better. Practical insights. Better conversations. A smarter way to work.
