Brains Behaving Badly: The Surprising Reasons Smart People Make Unsafe Choices

Have you ever done something and immediately thought, “Why on earth did I do that?”

We’ve all made decisions that left us scratching our heads—whether it’s a slip-up at home or a poor choice at work.

In this webinar, Sentis Principal Consultant Dr. Brett Solomon will explore the neuroscience behind why even smart, well-intentioned people sometimes make ‘silly’ mistakes—especially regarding safety.

We’ll explore:

- Why people tend to take shortcuts and unnecessary risks

- How certain brain functions, cognitive biases and the balance between one’s personal internal motivations and external pressures drive choices - What leaders can do to help their people be more focused, vigilant and make better safety decisions
