The Big Five Personality Traits: How They Shape Your Life
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.
