A 60 Second Introduction to Behavioral Science

“Shirin is a regular speaker at Stanford. As a speaker, she really connects with the audience by taking the time and care to customize her talk. The real-life examples of Behavioral Science were fascinating, engaging, practical and useful. Shirin's presentation was exemplary. Would recommend her for any stage!”

“Our organization invited Shirin and her team to lead a behavioral science session for our digital team that manages all of our online customer interactions and processes, and wow, was it an impactful session! Shirin & Brad were exceedingly engaging, informative, and provided content that was actionable and educational. They inspired so much thought and curiosity amongst our staff that their session/content is still being referenced on a daily basis weeks after the event. Not just that, we are already seeing positive business outcomes as a result of this session.”
