Friend or Foe?

18
Jun 2011

In his audiobook ” your brain at work” David Rock shares some helpful insights about why we act as we do in meetings at work. Our initial brain wiring sees new colleagues as threats, initiating the ” fight or flight” response.

Good luck in turning foes into friends
Warm regards Jonathan
