In 2025 nearly two-thirds (60%) of employees who spent more than 15 hours a week in meetings reported experiencing severe stress levels, according to a Wiley Workplace Intelligence report. When conflict arises, our bodies often react before our brains.

It can feel deeply frustrating, and even shameful, when your responses feel impulsive and out of your control. But is…

In 1985, three British writers, George Stone, Annabel Jankel, and Rocky Morton created Max Headroom, a glitching, stuttering synthetic personality derived from a human template for the TV show Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future.
