Dr. Helena Boschi is a psychologist who focuses on applied neuroscience in the workplace. Her particular areas of interest include the brain and behavior, our emotional and rational neural networks, and how to improve our cognitive abilities in order to get the best out of our own and others’ brainpower. Boschi has also researched the influence of cognitive biases and corporate psychopathy across different organizations. Recently, she investigated the impact of chronic, work-induced stress on brain function and published the book, “Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Our Brain to Get the Best Out of Ourselves and Others.”

Boschi has spent the last 25 years working closely with businesses to define and design new initiatives, particularly in the areas of organizational behavior, leadership and team development, intercultural communication, and organizational change. She has held senior talent management and organization development positions within international companies and now works predominantly in the telecommunications, pharmaceutical, and finance industries. She has delivered and coordinated tailored development in different countries in line with requisite capabilities and business requirements and created a reliable process for building a talent pipeline. Boschi believes in creating an energized and participative learning environment while, at the same time, treating people with sensitivity and respect. She has lived and worked in Switzerland and the US and now works extensively across the Middle East, Europe, the US, Africa, and Asia. She works at all levels within organizations and also coaches senior executives.

With a deep commitment to ongoing research in current organizational and psychological trends, Helena possesses keen insight into best and evolving practices in learning, communication, and leadership. A member of the British Psychological Society, she brings a scientific edge to the work she delivers and continues to apply the latest developments in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and behavior to the organizational context.
