Dr Lynda Shaw

Dr Lynda Shaw is a cognitive neuroscientist, business psychologist, and self-confessed brain geek who helps organisations not just survive, but thrive in today’s fast-paced world. With a knack for simplifying complicated neuroscience and communication techniques, Lynda works with leaders to tackle big challenges like fear, bias, and unlocking hidden potential—without turning the boardroom into a science lab!

Lynda’s also passionate about sparking innovation from within, helping teams think outside the box (and sometimes upside-down) to generate new ideas and approaches.

Founder of Brain & Behaviour Ltd. and the Consciousness Academy, Lynda brings decades of experience to the table, along with a healthy dose of humour that keeps her sessions both informative and fun. Clients love her because she makes brain science not only understandable but genuinely enjoyable—and because they leave with practical tools they can use right away.

When she’s not working with CEOs and senior leaders, Lynda is likely found on an adventure, trekking through remote landscapes or people-watching in bustling cities—always looking for new insights into human behaviour. Her speaking engagements are a reflection of this adventurous spirit: full of real-world examples, humorous anecdotes, and actionable advice.

Lynda’s talks help companies and their leaders build more productive teams, make smarter decisions faster, and create a stronger sense of belonging among teams.
