WIRED TO LEAD: Decode your Leadership DNA: The neuroscience behind your behaviour
Join us for this remote experiential event with Hatch's Chief Science Officer Dr Skyla Herod and Partner & Organisational Therapist Joris van Heukelom, on the neuroscience of leadership.
In this masterclass, we look at the Neuroscience of Leadership because it is possible to map your own configuration, blending biology and psychology to better predict the effect of the environment on you and vice versa. This learning guide will enable you to look at your ‘user manual’ of what makes you human and how you respond in specific situations.
This is part of the ‘Wired to Lead’ series produced by Hatch. A neuroscience-backed, human-based approach to building the soft skills, attitudes, and behaviours that today's leaders need.

We have a couple of surprises that we won't spoil just yet! ;-)
We hear from our partners everyday that change is now nonstop, transformations are regular, crises seem to appear one after the other, and innovations need to go faster than ever to stay relevant - theory and strategies may be in place, but it’s also helpful to look at how we as humans naturally react to these situations - to be better therefore equipped to create strategies around this.
About Dr Skyla Herod ( Chief Science Officer at Hatch)
Dr. Skyla Herod, Ph.D., is a behavioural neuroscientist and Chief Science Officer at Hatch Immersive Learning Studios, where she applies her expertise in neuroplasticity, resilience, and well-being to leadership development and 21st century workplace transformation. Her mission? Making the hard science of “soft” skills relatable, practical, and fun.
Drawing from both animal and clinical research, she has collaborated with international neuroscientists to explore how the brain adapts to stress and life transitions, and mechanisms for resilience. This foundation informs her work at Hatch, where she designs and delivers transformational learning experiences that bridge cutting-edge neuroscience with real-world corporate challenges.
