Dr Lynda Shaw is a cognitive neuroscientist, business psychologist, and entrepreneur whose career spans academia, enterprise, and applied neuroscience in leadership.

A Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and former President of the Professional Speaking Association UK&I, Lynda specialises in making complex brain science practical for business and leadership. She has founded multiple organisations, including Brain & Behaviour Ltd., the Consciousness Academy, and the Neuroscience Professional Development Programme, dedicated to bridging neuroscience, psychology, and real-world performance.
