In her remarks, Mona Moisala will address the following topics:
1. Personality Differences and Different Ways of Thinking
- How does personality affect work and decision-making?
- How can different thinking styles complement each other in teamwork?
2. The empathy gap—Why is it difficult for us to understand how others think?
- Why do conflicts easily arise between different brain types?
3. Different Ways of Processing and Utilizing Information
- Some people perceive things visually, others logically, and some need conversation to organize their thoughts.
- How can I take different learning, thinking, and communication styles into account when working with others?
4. Neurodivergence (e.g., ADHD and autism) – What should we understand?
- How do neurodivergent brains function, and what does this mean in the workplace?
- What strengths and challenges do different neuroprofiles bring?
This session combines the latest research findings with insights from experts across various fields and neurotypes on the themes mentioned above. Together, these elements help develop our understanding of the brain and our work methods.
In addition:
- we’ll explore what constitutes high-quality and productive thinking from the brain’s perspective
- we’ll deepen our understanding of how the brain and people function
- we’ll discuss brain ergonomics and ways to recharge amid the flood of information
- we explore concrete methods for unlocking the brain’s full potential—in a sustainable way

Mona Moisala
Mona Moisala holds a Ph.D. in psychology with a dissertation on brain research and is an expert in brain well-being. She specializes in coaching and training knowledge workers. In her research, Mona has examined, among other things, how multitasking affects the brain and the ability to concentrate. She is also broadly interested in how our brains adapt to the modern environment, where we struggle with an information overload and a growing sense of urgency.
Mona has written the non-fiction book *Stupid Work Life: How to Save the Brain of a Knowledge Worker* (Otava Nonfiction, 01/2025). The brain of a knowledge worker is not a machine, and not everyone’s brain works the same way. Modern brain research offers new perspectives on, among other things, the significance of emotions, concentration, and individual differences in knowledge work.
