My name is Bogdan Manta. I am a Neuroscience for Business expert. By understanding how our brain works, I combine practical insights with strategic thinking in a business context.

What it all comes down to – after 20 years of unleashing neuroscience in business – is just like Maya Angelou once said – ‘’people will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’’.
