Your Brain ‘At Work’
Feeling tired? Unmotivated? Burned out? Stressed? You can learn to ‘hack your brain’ and use it to help you achieve more energy, interest, peace, and productivity! In this stimulating keynote, we will peel back the complex layers of neuroscience, exposing simple and effective methods to access more neural resources. As a result, you will experience proven strategies that will maximize your brain’s performance.
The Neuroscience of Leadership
Your brain, like the brains of everyone else around you, is “at work” every moment of every day. It impacts your ability to focus your attention, to manage your emotions, and to create the kinds of relationships that maximize your results. It is the very source of your leadership strength, just as it is of life itself. This energizing keynote will inspire you to discover how your brain works, and what you can do to create more opportunities for insight, handle pressure effectively, and facilitate positive change in yourself and others.
The Resilient Mindset
Life is filled with challenges. It always has been and always will be. Life is also filled with opportunities and moments of joy. This thought-provoking keynote will invite you to develop a resilient mindset; one that is prepared and capable of approaching and resolving tough times, while also seeking and celebrating positive moments.

“I am usually the type to sit in the crowd, quietly take it all in, and take notes, notes that end up in a binder, often never to be seen once I return to work. Deri was engaging, fun and as real as they get. I was so moved by her session that I shocked myself by approaching her after the session to chat. During the session I didn’t need to take notes because her concepts hit home and stuck with me. I have already taken her advice and acted on her tips and tools to be more positive. Her positivity is contagious and her message is one that everyone should take time to listen to.”
– Amy Normal, VP, Corporate Services, Said Business School, University of Oxford
