The Neuroscience of Decision-Making:
Dr Jack helped Deloitte add £100 million to its bottom line with a talk on the neuroscience of decision-making for the team that pitched for the global Tesco Auditing business. As a result, he was invited to share these insights with Central European teams in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Once audiences understand how brains make decisions, it is much easier to get a client to make the decision you need them to make. This talk is extremely popular with finance and sales teams.
Science of Innovation:
Across seven consecutive events, Dr Jack worked with ITV Global’s senior leadership team, heads of development and middle management to help foster a culture of creativity through his Science of Innovation talk.
He shares evidence-based insights into strategies that genuinely boost creative problem-solving and others that, while hugely popular, don’t work, like brainstorming. This talk is often paired with a 30-minute interactive session that runs delegates through a scientifically valid method of creative ideation that Jack calls The Brain Shake – invaluable for creative firms.
Resilience and Technology:
Jack’s talks on Building Resilience and Technology on the Brain have always gone down extremely well, with Education Sector audiences keen to do more to look after their own brains while under stress and those of the young people in their care.
Jack also presents the speech and workshop presentation Sort Your Brain Out.
Dr Jack also puts together bespoke talks, upon request, for example a talk on Unconscious Bias for the National Trust who wanted to understand how they could create marketing materials that appealed to a broader segment of the British public.
Delivered in plain English, with infectious enthusiasm, and built on a deep foundation of scientific evidence, Dr. Jack’s talks go down brilliantly, whether the audience is an intimate group of 10 or several hundred.
