For Leaders that want to EXPAND from Respected to Remarkable. You've already achieved so much. But deep down, there's a fire that says: there's more. More impact. More meaning. More insight into yourself, your leadership. For senior leaders who are curious, driven and ready to evolve.

Neuroscientist. Leadership Psychologist. Change Strategist.


Lynda is a trusted advisor to CEOs and senior teams across industries. With a PhD in cognitive neuroscience and decades of experience in business psychology and as a business owner, she specialises in turning brain science into leadership superpowers.


Her mission? To help leaders understand how the mind works even below conscious awareness, so they can lead smarter, communicate better, and unlock potential in themselves and others.


Lynda's approach is refreshingly real. She blends deep academic insight with warmth, wit and a practical, no-fluff delivery that resonates with every level of leadership.


She's spoken on international stages, advised global companies, and mentored hundreds of ambitious professionals through change, growth and challenge.


But most importantly? She genuinely cares. She listens, she lifts and leads with both science and heart.


"The magic isn't in what's said or done - it's the space between. That's where curiosity sparks, ideas igniste, and potential stretches its limbs." Dr Lynda Shaw


Lynda's doctoral research investigated unconscious processing of emotion and behavioural change using fMRI scanning equipment. She is also an experienced entrepreneur, having owned 3 businesses. She is an author of the business book ‘Your Brain is Boss’ and a children’s book ‘Beat the Bullies Use Your Brain’.


Lynda is a dynamic and experienced conference speaker across industries, such as IT, financials, law, communication services, real estate, electronics and STEM.


Within every organisation, a wealth of solutions and innovative thinking is waiting to be tapped – from its own people. Lynda skillfully uncovers this hidden goldmine and translates insights into powerful, actionable communication. This enables better business relationships, funding and investment opportunities, and spreading their genius to the outside world, something we badly need.


She is Past President of the Professional Speaking Association UK&I and is the founder of Brain & Behaviour Ltd., the Neuroscience Professional Development Programme, the Consciousness Academy designed to debate the huge conundrum of consciousness, and founder of the Learning Lab for Leaders - a programme for advanced leadership skills.


She is also an adventure traveler. In fact, one of her many passions is walking—whether at high altitudes or on the treadmill in her office—earning her the nickname "The Walking Neuroscientist."


Lynda is always informative, fun, extremely practical and prides herself on being easy to work with.
