Sahar Yousef & Lucas Miller'S SPEAKING FEE $25K - $40K
Dr. Sahar Yousef and Lucas Miller are both cognitive neuroscientists, as well as faculty at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. They teach one of the most popular MBA classes at Cal, called “Becoming Superhuman: The Science of Productivity and Performance”, and have been featured in Forbes, Wired, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider.
At Berkeley, Sahar and Lucas also co-run the Becoming Superhuman Lab, which conducts research on how to help busy leaders and their teams get their most important done, in less time, with less stress.
Since COVID began, Sahar and Lucas have given over 600 talks and keynotes to knowledge workers in 50+ countries, have advised executive teams at Google, Coinbase, and Visa, and have been invited to speak to the US Congress and Saudi Arabian government.
Known for their fast-paced, high-energy style and their science-backed practical tactics, this dynamic duo is consistently rated as the #1 session at events, particularly within the technology, financial services, and private equity industries.
Dr. Sahar Yousef is a cognitive neuroscientist and faculty at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. After spending over a decade doing Department of Defense research on neuroplasticity and how to improve memory, attention, and overall human performance in as little as 7 weeks, Sahar now researches and teaches busy leaders and their teams how to be more productive and effective at work. At Berkeley, Sahar runs the Becoming Superhuman Lab and teaches one of the most popular MBA classes, called “Becoming Superhuman: The Science of Productivity and Performance”. Sahar has become one of the world’s leading experts on cognitive training and is featured as a top scientist in the Headspace well-being app (used by over 2 million people every day). In 2021, Sahar produced a multi-part video series with John Legend on the science of music and its impact on our focus and emotions.
Lucas Miller is a human performance researcher as well as the youngest faculty at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. At Berkeley, Lucas co-runs the Becoming Superhuman Lab and teaches one of the most popular MBA classes, called “Becoming Superhuman: The Science of Productivity and Performance”. He is the author of a best-selling book on the science of learning and behavior change and is a regular contributor to media outlets such as Wired and The Wall Street Journal.
Outside of the academic world, Lucas co-runs Becoming Superhuman, a training and consulting firm that teaches busy professionals who think for a living how to get their most important work done, in less time, and with less stress. Lucas specializes in physiology and performance psychology and uses his background as a competitive powerlifter to help knowledge workers increase their daily energy levels, manage stress effectively, and optimize their work and home routines.
