Awesome Office - How to Outsmart Your Brain and Win - w/ Dr. Marcia Reynolds

Product Hunters, Sometimes, our brains are our worst enemies. It’s true – our biology predisposes us to react emotionally and perpetuate negative self-talk. For leaders, this leads to self-doubt, tension, and dysfunctional teams. So what’s a leader to do? Simple: outsmart your brain. That’s according to this week’s awesome office guest, Dr. Marcia Reynolds, a world renowned organizational psychologist and leadership coach, and the author of the books Outsmart Your Brain and The Discomfort Zone. In our conversation, she lays out a strategy for circumventing our over-protective brains, and reveals how we can change the way we communicate in order to maximize every conversation we have with our teams. Marcia also recounts an incredible story about a particularly impactful conversation she had during a brief stint in jail during her rebellious youth. This was a great conversation that I think you’ll enjoy. If you do, definitely let us know! Subscribe, rate and review the show on iTunes.
