Hack Your Brain With Behavioral Science

In this week’s episode:

Anna Lakomy, founder and CEO of Your Career Guardian Angel, joins our host Lenny Murphy in this week’s episode. Former market research executive turned full-time career coach, Anna applies her expertise within neuroscience and behavioral science to help her clients.

Lenny and Anna discuss how we can apply the lessons we learn in behavioral science to ourselves, in identifying and avoiding burnout, assessing job performance and career decisions, and workplace behaviors (e.g., perfectionism, procrastination) that are actually self-sabotaging choices.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Radical accountability and the responsibility we need to take for many of the workplace challenges we face
• The Great Resignation, The Great Reshuffling, and overall reevaluation during this period of seismic change
• How we need to hijack our limbic brains and mindfully consider both “System 1” and “System 2” thinking when it comes to job seeking, interviewing, and overall career confidence

Many thanks to Anna, for being our guest. Thanks also to our producer, Karen Lynch, our editor, James Carlisle, and our sponsor, Stravito.
