Calm in the chaos - a stoic guide to leading in the Permacrisis
Rising panic. Geosociopolitical events beyond our control, and a shrinking job market in the face of economic turmoil.

In response, this talk will present a light-hearted, rip-roaring dash through tumultuous times from the perspective of behavioural science and neuroscience, showing us why we and the people around us might be feeling the way we do, and suggesting some top tips on how we can possibly hope to pick our way through the rubble.
