The Science of Optimizing Productivity and Performance

What You’ll Learn in this Session:

Today’s always-on work culture is full of interruptions. Constant meetings, calls, and emails make it nearly impossible to get important, focused, and creative work accomplished. However, by exploiting our ancient biology, instead of working against it, we can all learn how to manage distractions, find time for our most important work, and stay connected in a balanced way.

By equipping yourself with the most effective and scientifically proven techniques for working smarter when time and resources are limited, you’ll walk away with concrete tools for improving prioritization, decreasing execution time, and increasing focus for yourself and others.

  • Learn the leading research on context-switching and mental clarity
  • The science of digital hygiene and why those with certain digital practices are more prone to end-of-day exhaustion
  • The ideal physical environment for productivity and the science of music as a focus tool
  • Training on Focus Sprints®, a research-backed way of working that helps individuals get more done, in less time, with less energy expended 
About our Keynote Speakers

Dr. Sahar Yousef and Lucas Miller are both cognitive neuroscientists and MBA faculty at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.

At Berkeley, Sahar and Lucas run the Becoming Superhuman Lab (featured in Forbes Wired, and Business Insider) and teach one of the most popular MBA classes, called "Becoming Superhuman: The Science of Productivity and Performance".

Outside of the academic world, they co-run “Becoming Superhuman”, a training and consulting firm that teaches busy professionals who think for a living how to get their most important work done, in less time, with less stress. Lucas specializes in physiology and performance psychology and uses his background as a competitive powerlifter to help knowledge workers increase their daily energy levels, manage stress effectively, and optimize their work and home routines.

Since COVID began, they’ve collectively given over 700 talks and keynotes to knowledge workers in 50+ countries, have advised executive teams at Google, Citadel, and Thermo Fisher, and have been invited to speak for the US Congress and Saudi Arabian governments.

Known for their fast-paced, high-energy style and her science-backed practical tactics, she is consistently rated as the #1 session at events, particularly within the technology, financial services, and private equity industries.
