About

The brain is your primary working tool, it influences every decision you make, how you think, how you learn...

During this session you will learn about:

- What is true & false about the brain, as we debunk some widespread neuromyths.

- Cognitive distortions, cognitive biases, heuristics, and other mind fundamentals.

- Some extreme cases related to the brain, to learn about neuroplasticity and find out how adaptable the brain is.

Nathalie Da Costa

Founder & Managing Director of Nathalie DC Consulting

Having lived in 7 countries and studied Intercultural Communication, Nathalie has always been fascinated by the mind and how the same diverse perspectives can either lead to conflict or success.

With 9 years of experience in the field of luxury hospitality, and witnessing the growth of a family business into a corporation valued at €2.3 billion, Nathalie played a key role as a board member and leader in the successful internationalization of the group to the Iberian Peninsula.

When she decided to fly solo, Nathalie seized the opportunity to further explore the mind and the brain at Harvard Extension School, to understand the impact of the brain on business decisions. Within that context, Nathalie got into research, and wrote her first academic paper on Perfectionism and Burnout.
