Your Brain

Born 100.000 years ago your brain is a direct evolution of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens one ... Well when we say "evolution" we should say "non-evolution" ! And this is what drives all your brain's crazy cognitive biases impacting your decisions, those of your clients' and of your relationships.

Still, your brain is your best friend, learn how to use it for better persuasion!

Dr. Thomas Trautmann

Happy Brains' founder, Neuro Couple's creator and author.

Thomas has a real passion for people and their brains, a bit like a zombie. Driven by people's smile he enjoys life with his family, pets, horses and friends. He speaks fluently English, French and German.

He started his career as a Computer engineer and wrote his Ph.D. thesis working and improving an Artificial Neural Networks model. After a while he moved towards the "dark side", towards marketing and sales, willing to be closer to the decision maker: the client. He worked for major companies like HP, Bosch, AOL, Steelcase as well as smaller ones before founding his first company. His scientific as well as marketing, sales and strategy knowledge  allowed him to get certified as a Neuro Marketing instructor with SalesBrain.

The more he read, studied about the decision processes in the human brain the more he noticed the differences between the male and female brains. After two years of data collection and compilation Thomas launched the Neuro Couple concept and published his first book: "Is there a Brain in Your couple?" 

The driving force behind efficient marketing, sales, strategy and relationships being Persuasion, Thomas is now leading the Persuasion Strategies and Techniques.
