Nicole Radziwill graduated from Pennsylvania State University at the age of 18 and went on to earn an MBA and a Ph.D. in technology management and quality systems. She taught data science at the university level for 11 years, did a stint as editor-in-chief of the academic journal Software Quality Professional and has been a national examiner for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for more than a decade. She has written three books on statistics, one of which is a standard textbook in more than 25 universities.
By all accounts, Radziwill is brilliant and successful in her field, but a two-hour business meeting can inflict sensory overload. Stress factors in the workplace include lights, smells, loud conversations and even the sensation of wearing business attire. “Nothing is comfortable ever,” she said.
