There are scientific realities about how the human brain works.
Our current work culture is not in line with this reality.
I help educate people and optimize the way they work so they're more productive and feel better.
Who?
I'm a cognitive neuroscientist at UC Berkeley with 10 years of combined research and management experience. I've worked as a strategy consultant, a product manager, and a UX researcher.
For the past 7 years, I've been conducting research on cognitive enhancement. The training program that I helped create was shown to improve focus, memory, energy levels, motivation, stress management, and the productivity of high-performers.
what?
I create customized training programs by curating scientifically validated techniques and effective habit-forming systems to actually change the way people, teams, and organizations work.
I do this through workshops, training bootcamps, consulting, and coaching.
Why?
I conducted a massive study using a 7 week training program on 200+ high-performers at UC Berkeley.
Training has been shown to optimize neural connectivity & improvements in cognitive performance.
Speaking Engagements
I create customized talks, workshops, bootcamps, and courses for each client based on their goals and needs.
The aim of every engagement is always to inspire, instill, and maintain changes to the way we work as individuals and on a team.
