BIOGRAPHY
What if unlocking higher performance, deeper engagement, and stronger leadership wasn’t guesswork—but science? Amy Brann is a leading authority on applying neuroscience to business performance, helping organisations move beyond theories to real, measurable impact.
As a trusted advisor to global giants like Twinings, EY, Haleon, and Linklaters, Amy translates cutting-edge brain science into highly practical strategies that transform the way people think, lead, and collaborate. Unlike many speakers who simply share research, Amy works at the frontline of behaviour change, helping leaders embed sustainable shifts in mindset and performance.
She is the author of three widely acclaimed books — Make Your Brain Work, Neuroscience for Coaches, and Engaged: The Neuroscience Behind Creating Productive People in Successful Organizations — each providing practical, science-backed approaches to people development.
Over the years, Synaptic Potential, the organisation Amy founded, has partnered with The Wales Centre for Behaviour Change to support organisations, collaborated with the Møller Institute at Cambridge University to deliver leadership programmes, and worked with Manchester Metropolitan University to lead the neuroscience component of the Masters of Sports Directorship.
Amy’s expertise isn’t just theoretical. While some neuroscientists remain in the lab and many business thinkers discover the science later, Amy has spent decades at the intersection of brain science and real-world application. Her journey began with a fascination for the brain at just 15, leading her into medical school at 18. But traditional academia couldn’t contain her curiosity. She pivoted to independent research and collaborations with leading institutions, determined to bridge the gap between neuroscience and human performance. She doesn’t just talk about theory—she works directly with teams to embed lasting behavioural change.
