I’m going to let you guys in on a little secret.  I’m a total nerd when it comes to the brain and behavior. Why we choose to do the things we do or behave in certain ways has always fascinated me.  

So a few months ago when today’s guest, Friederike Fabritius, was in town from Germany, I jumped at the chance to interview her.  Friederike is a leading expert in the field of Neuroleadership. In other words, she’s also a total nerd when it comes to the brain and behavior. In her recent book, The Leading Brain: Powerful Science-Based Strategies for Achieving Peak Performance, she presents simple yet powerful strategies for: Achieving the highest performanceSharpening focusLearning and retaining information more efficientlyImproving complex decision-makingCultivating trust and building strong teamsThroughout the book, Friederike focuses on using solid scientific findings to develop new methods and practices for leadership development.  With Labor Day upon us and the final quarter of the year in sight, you may want to pick up this book for both you and your colleagues so you can all strive to perform at your maximum potential.  “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.We love feedback so please leave us a rating or review in iTunes."Better Off" theme music is by Joel Goodman, www.joelgoodman.com.For a recap of every episode, visit https://www.betterment.com/resources/topics/inside-betterment/better-off-podcast/Connect with me at these places for all my content:http://www.jillonmoney.com/ https://twitter.com/jillonmoney https://www.facebook.com/JillonMoney https://www.instagram.com/jillonmoney/ https://www.youtube.com/c/JillSchlesinger https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillonmoney/ https://soundcloud.com/jill-schlesinger http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/jill-on-money http://betteroffpodcast.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/better-off-jill-schlesinger/id431167790?mt=2
