"I've always been interested in psychology. As an economist, this is a bit of a contradictio in terminis, as economy always embodies rational expectations. Throughout my career, I discovered that nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing is rational. Everything is rather psychological. I've been an economist for whole my life. At the end of my career, I want to become an entrepreneur and give something back. As 85 % of our decisions are driven by our unconsciousness, I want to make clear that people need to take the unconscious into account when making rational decisions. That is what I want to pass on with BrainatTrust." (Marcia De Wachter, 2021)
The brain includes the rational and the irrational. We want to evoke the unconscious in the head. We want the head, heart, and gut to be in one line. When those are in line, your vulnerabilities will be able to surface. And when others acknowledge your vulnerabilities, they will want to protect you. This will create a 'tribe' feeling, which will bring more trust to the team. Therefore the name, BrainatTrust: the brain seeking trust.
