Talks & Keynotes
Lead with the Brain in Mind
Our brains are under more pressure than ever—navigating constant change, complex decisions, and the rise of AI. Yet most leaders are still working against their biology, not with it.
My talks are designed to shift that. I translate neuroscience into clear, practical insights that help leaders understand how we really think, decide, trust, and adapt—especially under pressure.
This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s grounded in science, delivered with commercial clarity, and made for the real challenges leaders face today. If you want to lead more intelligently, more adaptively, and more humanely, it starts with leading with the brain in mind.
