Pete Dyson, Department for Transport: "A brilliantly curated course, delivered with a lot of care and attention."

Emily Palmer, Pulse: "I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was fascinating, challenging and insightful from the very first piece of reading to the last session. There was a good variety of sources - articles, videos, case studies - and the online live sessions were engaging and enjoyable. It was clear that the trainers were experts in their field and had put a lot of thought and consideration into the sessions as well as the pre-reads and additional resources. The topics were complementary and gave a solid introduction to those that were new to the subject area, whilst still giving opportunities to those better versed to expand their knowledge and thinking. It was truly eye-opening and has changed the way I approach my work."

Yvonne O'Hara: "This course is perfect for anyone interested in how the brain works and how to apply neuroscience to real-life business problems and challenges. It's an engaging and thought provoking two days with insights and studies that can easily be applied to challenges businesses face. I highly recommend it." Yvonne most enjoyed that "Joe and Daniel are experts in their field and brilliant at breaking down concepts into everyday language and applying it to real life experiences. They were engaging presenters and responsive to questions in the room. They established rapport easily with everyone, and I particularly liked the warm welcome on day 1 as it really set the tone for a day of learning and lively debate."

Giulia Panozzo, neuroscientist: "The Changing Minds workshop was exceptionally run, an opportunity for participants from different backgrounds to learn more about integrating consumer neuroscience in our daily work without falling victim to the common misconceptions and 'neuromyths' that sometimes come with this kind of discussions. I definitely came away with more ideas and exciting projects I plan to run for my clients!" Giulia most enjoyed 'The fact it was fostering active discussions and it didn't come across as a sales pitch like many other courses unfortunately do - it was genuinely very useful."

Mary Joseph: "The two-day course was insightful and engaging and debunked a few myths. I learned so much by just listening to other participants as well. Some of the challenges they faced in their lines of work were similar to mine. I was taken aback at just how quietly (the factors that cause) bias and prejudice can creep in. It made me rethink the way I work and interact with people. It was thoughtful of the instructors to ask us to put down what we were looking for in the course, on day one, and tailor day two to our needs".

Nohelia: "This course really opened my eyes on what role neuroscience can play on my marketing strategy through the full funnel, from awareness to loyalty. The content is fantastic and the instructors make it incredibly engaging. I'd totally recommend this course if you're in any role for which understanding human behaviour is important."

Jaimie Grosset, The Lane Agency: "A fantastically fascinating workshop, filled with thought provoking questions and real-world case studies. The course was interactive and very open to the collective group's questions and discussion points, making it highly engaging and enjoyable. The Professors managed to bridge the gap between academia and business/marketing very well, showing the strength in collaboration and knowledge sharing…It was thoroughly enjoyable and interesting to hear from the specialist areas and what form of application this can take."
