Want to better understand how humans think about risk?  This keynote has been well-received on six continents, from institutions including security conferences, Ivy League universities, military colleges, and Fortune 10 corporations.  Use this keynote to open (or close) your security event, focus your leaders on how to really engage with humans, or educate your stakeholders.

We often model other humans as one-dimensional caricatures – because it’s efficient for our brain to do so; because it’s hard to think in a different mode than our own; because we don’t see ourselves as the villain in our own story. To be effective partners in our organizations, we have to understand not only how this affects other people, but how it affects ourselves; and then rewire our behavior to move past these caricatures and have dialogues that change behavior, not just reinforce stereotypes.
