Can we learn from our mistakes?

Have you ever made a decision with the best intentions, only to end up with an outcome you later regretted?

The wrong financial investment, the wrong partner, the wrong timing, or the wrong career choice. We often say that people should learn from their mistakes. Usually, this means understanding what went wrong so that next time, you will make a different decision.

But what if you did learn from the experience and still ended up with a similar outcome?

For example, you might choose a very different partner and genuinely believe that you have learned from your previous relationship but fear of rejection may still influence what you tolerate, what you avoid discussing, and how long you stay when problems appear. The person may be different and your choices may look different, but the same underlying response can continue to shape the outcome. This is why understanding what happened may not always be enough. We may also need to understand the influences behind our decisions and behaviour before the outcome.

Understanding these underlying influences has been one of psychology’s longstanding challenges.

To było wspaniałe spotkanie! Serdecznie dziękujemy za udział we wczorajszym spotkaniu informacyjno-rekrutacyjnym Forum Liderów Polonii Kanadyjskiej w restauracji Fregata w Mississaudze.

Z ogromnym zainteresowaniem słuchaliśmy Waszych wypowiedzi, pomysłów i refleksji dotyczących współczesnej Polonii kanadyjskiej oraz jej relacji z Polską. Szczególnie ważna była wyrażona podczas spotkania gotowość do wspólnej pracy i podejmowania konkretnych działań.

It was wonderful to co-facilitate the Leading Under Pressure workshop with Mikolaj Antczak as part of the Nexelle Program created by The Firehood.

The workshop brought together an incredible group of resilient and accomplished women founders, executives, and investors. Together, we explored how our thoughts shape the way leaders experience and respond to challenges, and how we can intentionally shift our mindset to stay grounded, confident, and empowered, even during difficult moments.

A heartfelt thank you to Claudette McGowan, C.M. OOnt, Danielle Brewin Graham, Nathalie Gahimbare, Ting Zhou, and Ravleen Kaur for bringing us into the program and creating such a wonderful experience. J

It was also wonderful to see Minister Charmaine Williams, whose tireless commitment to supporting and creating opportunities for women across Ontario continues to be deeply inspiring.

An important step forward for Felixa in Poland. 📣 🇵🇱

During my recent visit to Poland, I had the privilege of meeting with the leadership and academic representatives of Akademia Zamojska to discuss opportunities for research collaboration supporting the scientific validation and further development of Felixa in Poland and beyond.
I was honoured to meet with Professor Paweł Skrzydlewski, Rector of Akademia Zamojska; Professor Ryszard Skrzyniarz, Vice Rector for Research and International Cooperation; Wojciech Adamczyk, Chancellor of the University; Dr. Rafał Lizut, faculty member and researcher; and Eng. Ernest Jakubus, who supports strategic partnerships and research collaboration.
Our conversation focused on developing interdisciplinary research that can strengthen the scientific foundation of Felixa while advancing knowledge in behavioural science, artificial intelligence, digital wellbeing, and online safety.
Partnerships with leading academic institutions are essential to ensuring that Felixa is built on rigorous scientific research with meaningful real world applications.
Founded in 1594, Akademia Zamojska is one of Poland's oldest academic institutions. Its remarkable academic heritage and commitment to innovation create an outstanding environment for research, education, and international collaboration, making it a natural partner for initiatives that bridge science with real world impact.
A special thank you to Matthias Baginski for making this meeting possible, for believing in our vision, and for supporting the Felixa project from the very beginning. Your ability to bring together outstanding people across academia, industry, and international networks continues to create opportunities that move our mission forward.
My sincere thanks to everyone at Akademia Zamojska for the warm welcome, inspiring discussions, and openness to future collaboration. I look forward to the next steps as we work together to build meaningful research and educational initiatives in Poland and internationally.

I am grateful to have presented our poster, “Human–AI Agreement in Online Emotional Tone Assessment,” at the CYPSY Porto 29th Annual Conference on CyberPsychology, CyberTherapy & Social Networking (CYPSY29) at the Universidade Lusófona - Centro Universitário Lisboa in Porto.

Our work explored how closely AI can align with trained human judgment when assessing emotional tone in online communication. The encouraging results reinforced our belief that AI can become a valuable tool for supporting behavioural science, online safety, and digital well being when it is built on strong psychological foundations.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our poster, shared thoughtful questions, and discussed future collaborations. Conferences like CYPSY29 remind me how quickly behavioural science, psychology, and artificial intelligence are converging to address some of the most important challenges of our digital world.

Porto provided the perfect setting for these conversations. I am already looking forward to continuing this research and building new collaborations.

How to Make AI Think Like a Behavioural Scientist

Human behaviour rarely becomes clear in a single moment because people build trust, create conflict, cooperate, withdraw, repair, escalate, and influence one another through repeated interactions. A single sentence may carry emotional meaning, however the broader pattern becomes visible through what happened before it, what followed it, how often similar responses appeared, and whether the behaviour changed after feedback.
Artificial intelligence has transformed the way we analyze language. Modern language models can summarize conversations, recognize emotions, explain meaning, detect toxicity, and generate natural responses. Felixa extends these capabilities into behavioural intelligence because understanding words is only the first step toward understanding behaviour.

I had the honour of speaking at Nordic Game 2026, where I presented "Psychology and Technology Behind Safer Online Spaces."
The talk explored how behavioural science and artificial intelligence can help identify and address harmful behaviour in online games before it escalates, creating healthier communities while improving player wellbeing, trust, retention, and long term success for game studios.
Thank you to the Nordic Game team and everyone who attended the session. It was a pleasure to share ideas and discuss the future of safer online gaming.
