Neuroscience - What, why and how?

In this episode I chat with Dr Barry O'Neill,  Senior Specialist in Neurocognition at the Nestle Brain Health Department.  Barry articulates exactly what neuroscience actually is and we discuss why it's used in research, how it is measured and what it can tell us about brain performance.  We chat through Barry's vast array of neuroscience application spanning clinical trials, to sports performance, to infant development and also why understanding your cognitive state can benefit your performance at work.  Caffeine, work patterns, sleep, exercise and wellbeing are all covered off in this fantastic insight into the world of neuroscience and cognition.

Octagon to the Office

In the first episode of our second series I talk with Ultimate Fighting Championship Performance Institute VP of Performance Dr Duncan French, as we discuss how learning from elite sporting organisations and athletes can be used to inform the corporate landscape and worker.  Duncan provides some fascinating insights reflecting on his career working in elite sport (English Institute of Sport, British Basketball, British Taekwondo, English Premier League, Notre Dame University, UFC PI) as a practitioner, coach, manager and industry thought leader.  We talk work-life balance (or lack of it), situational leads, hollocracy, north stars and organisational cybernetics in what is a thoroughly enlightening conversation that has something for everyone!

Corporate Real Estate as a Health Enabler Post-COVID-19 with Andy O'Donnell (JLL)

In this episode we are joined by Andy O'Donnell, UK Real Estate & Workplace Director at JLL.  We discuss how the workplace and real estate can, and should, be used as a health enabler and the considerations organisations returning to the workplace should account for in a post-pandemic world.  We also look into the impact of the enforced home-working period the majority of people have gone through and how this experience may alter the expectations and needs in the "new business as usual".  Some fantastic insight from an industry thought leader!

Sensors and Data to Facilitate Return to the Workplace

In this episode I'm joined by Alex Moon from Spica Technologies as we discuss how sensor based technologies can be used to support the return to the workplace in a post-COVID-19 world. We cover topics from building entry thermal imaging cameras to bathroom occupancy panels and consider the impact from both an organisation and user experience perspective. Some fantastic insights demonstrating how relatively simple installations can be utilised in support of the current need states of many organisations.
