The Neuroscience of Trust, Belonging, and High‑Performing Teams
In every organisation, performance ultimately comes down to one thing: people. Dr Mark delivers a powerful and engaging keynote on how the human brain evolved to thrive in environments of trust, belonging, and mutual respect.
Based on his best-selling book, The Connected Species, published by Bloomsbury, and drawing on decades of research as a cognitive neuroscientist, he reveals why connection is not a soft skill but a hardwired biological driver of human potential, and the most powerful performance advantage any organisation can build.
This informative and entertaining keynote leaves audiences with a renewed understanding of what truly drives success: not technology, not efficiency, not individual brilliance, but the strength of the relationships that drive our superpower.
