Better decision making with neuroscience

The Maverick Paradox Podcast

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Dr Randy Brazie and Dr Geoffrey Vanderpal from Neuro Consulting on better decision making with neuroscience. They also discuss self-regulation, polyvagal theory, and their applications in leadership and business.

Key Takeaways

• Polyvagal theory explains how the vagus nerve mediates different physiological states (social engagement, fight-or-flight, shutdown) based on perceived safety/danger
• Being aware of one's own state and learning self-regulation skills is key for leaders to manage themselves and interact effectively with others
• Poor self-regulation and toxic work environments lead to high costs from turnover, absenteeism, and lost productivity
• Integrating neuroscience with leadership models can provide powerful insights for better decision-making

Overall, the meeting covered some unexpected psychological and neurological concepts and their real-world business applications in a thought-provoking way.

Dr Geoffrey Vanderpal and Dr Randy Brazie combine their expertise in business and psychiatry to help others become better leaders.
