Did you know that behavioural scientists have found that humans make 95 per cent of their decisions using mental shortcuts?

Understanding human behaviour is crucial for achieving success in today’s competitive business landscapes.

By delving into the intricacies of human behaviour, businesses can gain valuable insights into themselves, their customers, employees and stakeholders, therefore tailoring their strategies, products and services to meet the needs and desires of their target audience more effectively.

Getting to know the human behavioural elements within your business also effects things like employee management and productivity.

By recognising the motivations and drivers of your team, business owners can create a positive and supportive work environment that fosters employee satisfaction, engagement and loyalty.

By understanding human behaviour, you’ll be able to more effectively navigate complex organisational dynamics, improving communication, teamwork and decision-making processes. Overall, this gives business owners a competitive edge where stronger relationships are built which ultimately drives sustainable success.

But the benefits of learning about how humans work don’t stop there…

Mindset plays a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, emotions and actions – even if you’re the business owner (well, especially if you’re the business owner).

So, if you’re at a crossroads and feel like something needs to change in your business, getting into the nitty gritty of your personal behaviour will help you to understand yourself and provide valuable insights into how your own thought patterns, habits and behaviours are impacting the results you are currently getting.

At Kaibizzen, co-founder Rob is motivated by the intricacies of these critical human studies.

For the past two decades, Rob has used his knowledge in human behaviour to unveil how business leaders can leverage the pinnacle of lifestyle success.

Rob says he has a passion for studying some of the world’s most prominent scientists but is even more passionate about translating that knowledge into practical programs that Kaibizzen clients can follow to make their lives better – both personally and in business.

“It’s incredibly interesting because it delves into the complexities of human cognition, emotions and decision-making processes,” Rob said.

“It seeks to understand why people behave the way they do and how various factors influence their thoughts and actions.”

Human behaviour is fascinating because it provides a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, paving the way for more effective communication, improved relationships and achievement of goals.

Here, we explore the profound impacts of human behaviour and how this knowledge can empower us to cultivate a positive and growth-oriented outlook in all elements of life and business…

Awareness of cognitive biases

Human behavioural science sheds light on the various cognitive biases that affect our perception and decision-making. These biases have come from our own environment. In fact, neuroscience has proven that at the point of our conception, our parents’ unresolved issues (such as money, relationships, body image and so on), will be in our DNA. Our biases can limit our thinking and limit our ability to see alternative perspectives. By becoming aware of these biases, we can challenge our own assumptions and develop a more open-minded mindset. This newfound awareness allows us to make more informed choices, embrace diverse viewpoints and foster intellectual curiosity.

Conditioning and reinforcement

Human behavioural science recognises the power of conditioning and reinforcement in shaping our mindset. Our behaviours are often influenced by rewards and punishments, which can have a significant impact on our beliefs and attitudes. By consciously designing our environment and experiences, we can create positive reinforcement loops that support the development of a growth mindset. This involves celebrating small victories, surrounding ourselves with supportive individuals and engaging in activities that align with our values and goals.

The power of language and self-talk

Language is a powerful tool that can shape our mindset. Human behavioural science highlights the importance of positive self-talk and the use of empowering language. By reframing negative thoughts and replacing self-limiting beliefs with affirmations, we can cultivate a more optimistic and resilient mindset. This practice helps us overcome challenges, build self-confidence, and embrace a growth-oriented perspective that sees failures as opportunities for growth.

Social influence and learning

Human beings are inherently social creatures and our mindset can be heavily influenced by the people around us. Human behavioural science emphasises the impact of social influence and social learning on our mindset. Surrounding ourselves with positive, motivated and growth-oriented individuals can inspire us to adopt similar mindsets. Additionally, seeking out mentors, role models and communities that share our values and aspirations can provide invaluable support and guidance on our journey towards a positive mindset.
