What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Carmen Simon, Chief Science Officer at Corporate Visions and Brain Science Instructor at Stanford CS. Summary: Carmen takes us on an adventure exploring the wonders of brain science and how to sustain attention through contrast. We cover embodied cognition, deviating from expected patterns and avoiding the sea of sameness in AI content. We also take a detour into the speculative future of neuroscience and making data impactful through context. About CarmenCarmen has spent her career in multimedia design, writing books, creating and selling companies, and more recently conducting brain science research. She wrote ‘Impossible to Ignore' – A groundbreaking approach to creating memorable messages that are easy to process, hard to forgetShe started (and still is) at Stanford Continuing Studies teaching several brain science coursesAnd today she's Chief Science Officer at Corporate Visions where she runs neuroscience research to help businesses increase their persuasive powerShe also recently published another book called Made You Look – a full-color image packed guide on developing persuasive contentEmbodied Cognition in MarketingCarmen highlights the rising trend of embodied cognition in neuroscience. This concept suggests that our brain's attention, memory formation, and decision-making are influenced by the interaction between the brain, body, and environment. It's not just mental processes but physical engagement that shapes our cognitive functions.She offers practical advice for marketers: involve your audience physically. For example, during a sales presentation or team meeting, encourage note-taking. This simple act engages multiple parts of the body, enhancing memory and focus. In Carmen's studies, participants who took notes during sessions retained information better than those who just listened.The key is to move beyond passive engagement. Traditional methods often required participants to stay still, but advancements in neuroscience now allow for physical involvement without compromising data accuracy. So, telling your audience to write things down can make a significant difference in how well they remember and engage with your content.This becomes more challenging in remote settings like Zoom. The temptation to type notes digitally is strong, leading to potential distractions. Carmen's research shows that while digital note-takers wrote more, those who handwrote their notes retained and synthesized information better. Handwriting forces individuals to summarize and critically engage with the content, enhancing the quality of their notes and memory retention.Carmen's insights suggest that integrating physical activities into your marketing strategies can create a more immersive and memorable experience for your audience. This approach not only boosts engagement but also helps in building stronger connections and better information retention.Key takeaway: Encourage physical involvement in your marketing efforts. Simple acts like note-taking can enhance engagement and retention, leveraging the principles of embodied cognition for more effective and memorable interactions.Enhancing Virtual Engagement with Body CuesCarmen discusses an intriguing neuroscience study comparing brain activity when showing products through slides versus using a whiteboard. She emphasizes that using a whiteboard engages people more effectively. The physical act of drawing grabs attention and creates a dynamic visual experience. When the audience is encouraged to draw along, this engagement deepens even further.Encouraging participants to draw along creates a shared physical activity, reinforcing memory retention. This technique leverages embodied cognition, where physical movement aids cognitive processes. Carmen's study showed superior recall effects for those who engaged in drawing versus those who only watched slides. After 48 hours, participants who drew remembered more, highlighting the power of active involvement.In a virtual setting, applying these principles requires creativity and discipline. For instance, you can ask participants to take control of the mouse during a demo or encourage them to use a digital whiteboard. Despite the challenges of remote interactions, these physical cues remain crucial for memory retention. Carmen's research indicates that handwriting notes leads to better retention than typing, emphasizing the need to integrate physical activities in digital environments.Carmen urges marketers to rescue the practice of whiteboarding, even in virtual settings. The visual and physical engagement it provides can significantly enhance memory and decision-making. By reintroducing these techniques, marketers can create lasting impressions and foster better audience connections.Key takeaway: Integrate physical activities like whiteboarding in virtual settings to enhance engagement and memory retention. Encouraging your audience to draw along or take notes by hand can lead to more effective and memorable interactions.Sustaining Attention Through ContrastCarmen dispels the myth of shrinking attention spans, emphasizing that humans are capable of sustained focus if the stimulus is engaging enough. She notes that from a biological and evolutionary perspective, our ability to concentrate hasn't diminished. The key is to make the content interesting and relevant. As an example, think about how many hours people can spend binge-watching TV shows when they're captivated.Carmen challenges marketers to think about how to capture and hold attention. The competition for focus is fierce, and at any moment, people can easily switch to something else. To stand out, marketers need to make their offerings compelling and distinct. This involves creating engaging experiences that resonate with the audience on a deeper level.One effective technique Carmen mentions is using contrast to create a noticeable difference between your content and that of others. The brain needs at least a 30% difference to perceive something as distinct. For marketers, this means clearly differentiating their solutions from the competition. It's not enough to claim that your product is better; the contrast must be perceptible and significant.She highlights the importance of making your marketing content unique and memorable. In a crowded field, ensuring that your message stands out is crucial. This can be achieved by presenting information in a way that is markedly different from others, creating a strong and lasting impression.Key takeaway: Create engaging and distinct content to capture and maintain attention. Use contrast effectively to differentiate your offerings, ensuring they stand out in a crowded market. This approach helps in making your marketing efforts more impactful and memorable.Deviate From Expected Patterns and Create Memorable ImpactCarmen highlights a significant distinction between human and AI-generated content: the power of human touch. She emphasizes that for the brain to perceive distinctiveness, it must first recognize patterns. This means that not every aspect of your marketing needs to be unique. Instead, marketers should identify areas of sameness and then have the courage to deviate from those patterns to create a memorable impact.One compelling example Carmen shares involves Krispy Kreme's daring marketing approach. They ran an ad with the headline, "Donuts are bad for you," a stark contrast to their usual “Donuts are life” messaging but also the typical health-centric marketing messages. This distinctiveness, paired with a c...

In this episode of Enterprise Sales Development podcast, we speak with Dr. Carmen Simon, a instructor at Stanford Continuing Studies, Cognitive Neuroscientist at Memzy and Chief Science Officer at Corporate Visions. Dr. Simon deconstructs a cold call and how the brain interprets every part of that outbound exercise. She also provides tips, research and examples of what's happening to the brain with a cold email. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What lead her to study and get her PhD in Neuroscience How to get more successful interactions from cold calls by understanding the neuroscience and best techniques for the average cold caller Debunking the idea that it takes 21 days to form a habit and the brain science for interrupting a habit Research that makes outreach more meaningful in marketing and sales messaging and the data that explains what happens during the listening and viewing a pitch Tactics she would suggest for cold emails and texts and techniques to reduce cognitive workload Her thoughts on the herd mentality behind decision making and how to decrease the pressure as you construct messages QUOTES “Everyone you're addressing personally or professionally has a brain, and it's important to know a little bit at least about how the brain reacts to communication and business communication in our sense.” - Dr. Carmen Simon [02:43] “So out of that list, we're cold calling or any other persuasive environment for that matter, I would invite our listeners to think about the promise of being in control. I think one of the reasons why perhaps people don't react so positively to cold calling is because they're not in control.” - Dr. Carmen Simon [16:23] “Sometimes the ego takes over, and we want to impress others with a lot of novelty, with things that perhaps they will have not experienced or done before. And sometimes that works against us because with novelty comes the extra cognitive resources that you're hoping somebody has. And these days people are so taxed that it's a bit harder to rely on that.” - Dr. Carmen Simon [19:35] “Because what we're noticing in business is that people try to use too many words that are fancy. They're very jargon, and even if you're talking to experts, experts still have human brains.” - Dr. Carmen Simon [40:03] “The moment that we create something that is indeed steeped in scientific principles, then all of us can benefit and address an ever evolving business brain.” - Dr. Carmen Simon [51:40] TIMESTAMPS [00:01 Intro [00:30] Meet Dr. Carmen Simon [03:01] How she came to study neuroscience [04:47] Sharpening receiving and creating [08:07] How to get to more successful interactions [14:50] Best techniques for the average cold caller [19:15] Seemingly no effort [20:08] 21 days to form a habit [27:13] Research to make outreach more meaningful [34:54] Tactics she would suggest for cold emails and texts [40:34] Herd mentality behind decision making [51:10] How to contact Dr. Carmen Simon CONNECT Corporate Visions website Dr. Carmen Simon on LinkedIn CIENCE website CIENCE on LinkedIn CIENCE on Facebook CIENCE on Twitter CIENCE on Instagram

Leadership AdvantEdge: Leadership | Influence | Talent | Neuroscience
Have you ever sat in a presentation and successfully listened to everything that the speaker shared, remembered what was essential and acted on the information whilst simultaneously fielding emails, carrying out a chat message and planning lunch and all before a really important client meeting. OK, now in this very short space of time, what do you remember? Not a lot huh? You just experienced cognitive overload. And that was just thinking about those 5 things happening in theory. "That went right over my head! Cognitive overload is more common than you might realise. Cognitive overload occurs when your brain is being tasked with too many things at once or you are trying to process too much information. It happens when you use too much mental effort in your brains working memory to continue effective processing. You may well feel that the words flew over your head. You stopped taking any more information in and tried to clear the backlog. It is also remarkably common. A leader does a data dump of the facts and figures for the quarterly report, a manager relates every little detail of a problem and the presenter rushes through the material either because their time has been reduced or they've taken too long over the early part. Specifically, what does your audience need to know? And I do mean need as an absolute New and Knew One way to help your audience understand is to relate something that they already do know with the new information that you are sharing. New information triggers curiosity, which is something you want to do. But if everything is new, you'll trip over the edge of curiosity into anxiety. And anxiety is something we don't want. Filling your presentation with all things new is like opening photoshop for the first time and being presented with all 300 icons on the taskbar. Or like visiting a strange city for the first time. It's overwhelming. Sure, you'll find your way around eventually, but it takes time. You see what I did there? I related the situation (new knowledge for you) to something that you know already - either you'll know about photoshop and the vast number of icons or you'll have experienced visiting a strange city. And even if not exactly aligned with your knowledge, the two examples provide adequate common experience for you to relate to, or imagine. And that's just what you need to do with new information. Align it with something your audience knows already by using examples, metaphors or analogies. And remember, you only want to include new information if it is something that your audience needs to know. It is not so that you can show how knowledgable and brilliant you are. On top of this, your audience is likely to find 90% of your presentation as forgetable. So what do you really want them to remember? Your 10% Dr Carmen Simon, author of Impossible to Ignore, a neuroscientist and expert in making your content memorable, shares some bad news that your audience typically remembers just 10% of your presentation content. Worse news is the 10% remembered by one person differs from the 10% another person remembers. The 10% that you really want them to remember needs to be identified and then you are going to take control of what they remember. You can do that by noting: - What you want your audience to remember - 3 or 4 points, and - What you want your audience to do (your Product or call to action) Now we are clear what our audience knows already, making certain that we recognise our own curse of knowledge and taking care with our assumptions. We are also clear about what they need to know, avoiding cognitive overload, aligning the new with the knew and identifying the 10% of our content that is essential. But do they care at all? We need to understand the audience's opinion. Let's wrap here for now and prepare you for the next part: Opinion. In the next section we'll talk about Opinion and then get deep into the Who of your audience. We'll consider their power and interest, how they might resist, and the four audience types you will choose specific actions or products from your presentation.

You're in for a treat because my guest is extraordinary. I love her and love everything she talked about. When I think about a neuroscientist, I think about somebody who is a nerd and sits in a lab, whatever interesting imagery comes to mind. She's got the smarts and the fire. She is a wonderful, fun human being that is super wise and is going to teach you how to improve your brain and your memory. Mostly what she's focusing on is how you can stand out, how you can enter a conversation and have people remember you, how you can do a presentation and have people remember you and retain what you told them. This is the key to success because when you are top of mind, people want to work with you, people want to engage with you. How do you stay top of mind? How do you grab someone's attention? In the past, I don't know why maybe it's my personality, I used to draw attention regardless of what I did. My friends in high school, they could sneak in late and nobody noticed but as soon as I do it until this day, everybody notices it. I'm an attention magnet somehow and in the past, I try to dim it. Sometimes I still do, but the more I talk to more interesting smart people, successful high achievers and all those freaking unbelievable experts that are here, the more I get that getting attention is not necessarily a bad thing. You want to channel it to do good in the world. You want to channel it to a place where it influences your success and the success of the people that are around you and that are working with you. We’re going to learn more about that. Do you want to learn how to be more magnetizing and how to influence people for good and be a force for good? Carmen Simon is a cognitive neuroscientist, author and Founder of Memzy, a company that uses brain science to help corporation create memorable messages. Carmen consults with major corporations on human memory and on decision making processes and has developed a science-based method that helps people become memorable and drive a desired action. She's worked with AT&T, Google, Cisco, HP, McDonald's and so many more amazing brands. She's also a guest lecturer at Stanford University and speaks frequently on the importance of using brain science to craft communication. She is fantabulous. Also, I would love to hear from you if you are enjoying this. If you feel like it is valuable, then go ahead and give me a five-star review and tell me why you liked it. If you don't like it, don't tell anyone. Just kidding. Being a podcaster, it’s sometimes lonely on the other side. I want to hear and be engaged with you. If this knowledge that I bring to you contribute to your life, inspires you and something that you love and fills your heart with joy, then I would be so grateful to hear from you and connect with you.

Everyone in sales could use some more training in persuasive techniques - not for the sake of being manipulative or pushy, but for the sake of truly helping prospects see how their problems can be solved with the salesperson’s solution. It’s a win-win situation when that happens. On this episode of In The Arena Carmen Simon, Ph.D., author of “Impossible to Ignore” chats with Anthony about her research into how the brain works, what it takes to be memorable, and how persuasion can not only be learned but can also be tied into the way the brain actually remembers things. This one is worth your time, for sure. Dr. Carmen Simon on Persuasive Techniques for Business and Life, on this episodeClick To Tweet There are so many reasons to learn skills for more effective persuasion. It’s obvious how persuasion techniques are beneficial to a sales professional, but in everyday situations persuasion is needed as well. This conversation is a step into the science lab with Dr. Carmen Simon sharing what research shows about how the brain remembers things and why it forgets. Her insights into the things that make an idea, sentence, or concept memorable provide clues as to how everyday people can be more effective in their relationships and life in general. What’s the most memorable thing from the last presentation you attended? Can you remember? Dr. Carmen Simon says that much of what we remember depends not on our ability to remember but on the way the event or information was presented. With years of experience in cognitive research, she’s discovered that while memory is something that a person can improve, it’s also something that presenters (like salespeople) need to understand so that they can present in ways that create compelling content that people simply can’t forget. You’ll get a LOT out of this interview. Allow your prospects to wait more… it will increase their desire to take action! On this episodeClick To Tweet What are the “handles” that you weave into your sales presentations? Many times the things we remember are called to mind because of their association with other, more common things we see every day. Dr. Carmen Simon points out that when we use that knowledge intentionally we can learn to associate the things we want people to remember with things that they already deal with habitually, every day of their lives. Think about cars, beds, pencils, smartphones - then begin thinking how you can use those everyday things in illustrations related to your products - and you begin to get the idea. On this episode Dr. Simon shares her insights, so be sure you set aside time to listen. Always, always, always start with what you want people to remember. That’s the advice Dr. Carmen Simon, cognitive scientist, gives when asked what people who make presentations need to know about being more memorable. In her mind, and from her research, you’ll do much better creating compelling content that people remember if you START by getting ultimately clear on what it is you want the person receiving your presentation to remember. From there you can intentionally build a structure to your presentation that points toward that end goal. Dr. Simon has much to share on this episode so be sure you listen. It could make a tremendous difference in your sales career.
