I study strategies that enhance our thinking and reveal abilities we didn’t realize we had. My work draws inspiration from therapies in neurological recovery, extreme mental resilience developed through profound adversity, and innovative approaches in autism, stroke, and traumatic brain injury recovery—and adapts these strategies to improve thinking and decision-making in government, industry, and everyday life. By leveraging the brain’s remarkable adaptability, these strategies enable breakthroughs in decision-making, elevate thinking quality, and enhance mental agility.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of decision-makers and front-line professionals across diverse fields—individuals responsible for high-impact decisions that shape society. These include leaders of critical operations, innovators in healthcare and education, and pioneers pushing the boundaries of human performance. This real-world collaboration, far beyond the confines of the laboratory, has provided an invaluable opportunity to test and refine these strategies.
