Nick Hobson: Video Interviews: The Science of Being Human

Published: March 19, 2020, 10 a.m.

In light of recent global events, our content continues to reflect only the most-relevant topics.

Nick Hobson is an accomplished scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur, based in Toronto, Canada. With an undergraduate degree in Psychology from McMaster University, and both a Master’s degree and Doctorate in Behavioural Brain Sciences from the University of Toronto, Nick brings a wealth of experience to an important discussion - team dynamics. 

Nick’s professional background includes experience as a PhD Researcher, with an emphasis on Social/Organisational Psychology and Neuroscience. His research now informs a professional practice that focuses on social/organisational psychology and management, including the cultural implications of shared motivational and emotional states, group biases and their impact on performance, and the optimum performance of small teams to achieve collective results. 

In this episode, Nick & I discuss the implications of (not) extending trust in a remote workforce setting, the importance of connection to offset the impacts of social distancing, and the role technology plays in easing this transition and enabling the workforce of the future.

We’ll continue to be of service however we can in this trying time. In particular, if you are an executive or HR leader with questions, comments or feedback, please reach out. We are here to support you.

Until then, be safe.
