Hatch Invites is a remote and in-person platform that explores the transformative power of humanized leadership.

Hosted by Joris van Heukelom, a researcher and partner at Hatch, Hatch Invites features interviews with leaders from all industries and walks of life. Guests discuss their personal leadership journeys, the elements of humanized leadership they believe are crucial for success, and how to build and lead human-centered organizations.

Our guest, Skyla Herod, a behavioral neuroscientist, shares her expertise on how our brains work and how we can use this knowledge to make better decisions.

Here are three key takeaways from the podcast:

• Our brains are wired to prioritize safety and efficiency, often leading to irrational decisions.
• We can train our brains to become more rational by understanding how neural networks and biases work.
• By taking more time for decisions, breathing through our initial impulses, and reflecting on our values, we can make more conscious choices.
