Conferences of Marc Turiault

Imagine that you have to work with someone who is impulsive, procrastinating, hyper-attentive to shortcomings and resistant to change. Someone who, faced with the stress of delivering an urgent report, refuses to perform any task that is not included in his or her contract and who goes walkabout on social networks. Well, this person is a part – a human part – of all of us, lodged in our limbic brain. If you’re wondering how you can to get to know it and pacify it so you can motivate it more effectively, then neuroscience is the answer. For instance, neuroscience can demonstrate that the most efficient team management depends on employee well-being.

With 15 years in research and journalism, neuroscientist Marc Turiault tells us all about the most advanced research on the human brain’s daily battle to make humankind « a rational animal » in the words of Aristotle. With a PhD in neuroscience from the prestigious Collège de France, Marc spent 13 years in the company of mice in a selection of internationally-renowned laboratories. It was while working on the mechanisms of stress and motivation that he published his research in the most reputable journals in the scientific press (Nature, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron and PNAS).

Marc, who has a BFFA trainer qualification, is currently developing an innovation programme on leadership techniques, workplace integration and education in Switzerland based on recent contributions from cognitive neuroscience.

Marc uses his 10 years of acting experience on the stages of Geneva, Paris and Marseille to recount the wonders of the brain in humorous fashion. His conferences reveal the latest contributions of neuroscience to employee management methods, which have shown their effectiveness in business.

By helping us understand our brains better, Marc Turiault helps us become better leaders.
