Welcome to another episode of ‘My Pocket Psych’. This time, we
look at the challenges with making new year’s resolutions given our
innate preference for comfort and stability. We discuss what
productivity could look like in a variety of roles and look ahead
to workplace psychology themes for 2019, in the second part of our
interview with Nicky Hemmings.
