What’s the secret to changing behaviours...

Deloitte UK
About this episode

We spend our days reacting, responding, pivoting. To the latest trends, headlines and/or that urgent email in your inbox.

It’s not you – it’s your brain. It’s how we’re wired. 

But understanding why we all behave the way we do is incredibly powerful. It allows us to align with the things that matter to us most – from personal change to climate change.

So, we thought we’d ask the experts and invited Richard Shotton, author and behavioural scientist and Stuart West, UK net zero lead at Deloitte into The Green Room.

Tune in to find out:

  •         Why humans dislike change – and simple ways to make it easier
  •         The behavioural science tricks everyone should know
  •         How these techniques can help us in the fight against climate change
  •         Our experts’ top tips to help us achieve our personal goals
