About me
Paola Pascual
Hey there! I'm the human behind Science of Efficiency. It's lovely to have you here. Born in Spain, my journey has taken me far from home – living and working in diverse places like the United States, Belgium, Vietnam, and Berlin. It’s been quite the adventure, each stop adding a new layer to my understanding of the world and people.
For over a decade, I've been weaving my love for psychology into my work as a business communication and culture coach at Talaera and other startups and corporates around the world.
I spend most of my week hours thinking how to help the world know about Talaera, the best platform for non-native English professionals to bring their better selves at work through effective communication. As part of that initiative, I am the host of the Talaera Talks podcast (
For the past ten years, I have broadly applied my knowledge of communication and psychology across different startups and corporates. I am passionate about psychology-related topics such as communication, productivity, change management, and decision-making. I currently work as a Director of Marketing and Content at Talaera, a great tech startup based in New York. We operate globally to help non-native English professionals excel in English as much as they do in their native language (we also have a podcast, which I co-host: Talaera Talks!).
With vast experience in remote work and with international teams, I strongly believe in the power of psychology-based tools and effective communication for individual and team success.
