Scroll, analyze, panic. The new era of digital health - Damian Parol part 1

In this episode of our "Company That Supports" series, Dr. Ewa Hartman speaks with Dr. Wojciech Glac—a neurobiologist, lecturer at the University of Gdańsk, and popularizer of brain science—about why what we think we know about our own minds often misses the mark on how they actually function. We discuss: why the belief that "I am rational" is only true under certain circumstances, and what really drives our choices; how stress changes the way we think and at what point it stops helping us and starts sabotaging our actions; what the reward system actually is and why dopamine is not a "pleasure hormone," but rather a motor for motivation; whether multitasking is real or if we just like to believe it is; how neuroplasticity works throughout our entire lives and what that means for mature employees in the job market; and why sleep is the foundation—and how a lack of it strips us of exactly what we need most at work. The brain's potential is immense. The question is: do we know the user manual that allows us to make the most of it?

"Boss, I'm not feeling well" – when it comes to something like a stomach ache, most of us know how to offer support. But what if it’s a mental health issue? How should a leader respond to provide genuine support to an employee? Can you anticipate such situations within a team? And finally, how do you create an environment that fosters trust and open communication?

I want to talk about your work. The other person hears: "something went wrong." The conversation loses its meaning before it has even begun. In this episode of our "Company That Supports" series, Dr. Ewa Hartman speaks with Rafał Cupiał—a business trainer, consultant, and expert in collaboration and feedback—about why feedback so often backfires and how to change that. We discuss: - why every assessment is based on a fragment of reality and how that limits the effectiveness of development conversations, - what the social layer of feedback is and why it, rather than the content itself, often determines how feedback is received, - how a few sentences at the start of a conversation can turn an attack into a dialogue, - what psychological safety really is and why it has nothing to do with avoiding difficult topics. Feedback is not a technique. It is a daily decision: are you building an environment where people speak openly, or one where they learn to stay silent?
