After Dinner Speakers
Neurologist, Thought Leader & CEO at Neurozone®, Resilience & High Performance Expert | Internationally Renowned Keynote Speaker and Master Class Teacher
This talk explores the neuroscience behind burnout and mental unwellness, showing how they directly affect individual and organisational performance. Dr Etienne highlights how early recognition and intervention can help prevent decline and restore balance. He blends medical expertise with practical strategies, offering leaders and teams tools to build healthier work cultures. Participants leave with actionable insights to protect mental health and sustain long-term effectiveness.
Resilience As Foundational To How We Do Business
Dr Etienne explains why resilience is not just a personal trait but the foundation of sustainable business performance. Drawing from behavioural neuroscience, he demonstrates how resilient organisations adapt faster, thrive under pressure, and outperform competitors. He equips leaders with frameworks to embed resilience into strategy, culture, and daily practices. This session provides both the science and the tools to strengthen resilience as a business advantage.
How The Brain Builds Social Safety Throughout Life, At Work, And At Play
This keynote unpacks the neurobiological roots of social safety, a critical factor in trust, collaboration, and workplace culture. Dr Etienne explores how the brain builds and maintains feelings of safety from early life to adulthood. He connects these insights to modern leadership and team dynamics, showing why psychological safety drives innovation and engagement. Attendees gain a deep appreciation of how to foster environments where people feel secure and perform at their best.
The Neuroscience Of Team Innovation
In this talk, Dr Etienne shares how neuroscience explains the way teams generate, refine, and apply innovative ideas. He demonstrates the brain processes that either inhibit or enable creativity, risk-taking, and problem-solving. By linking science with organisational practice, he offers leaders strategies to build innovative cultures that can adapt to disruption. The session leaves participants inspired to reimagine teamwork as a neuroscience-powered engine of innovation.
The Science Of Mindset And Mindfulness
Dr Etienne explores how neuroscience reveals the true power of mindset and mindfulness in shaping resilience, performance, and wellbeing. He shows how the brain can be trained to shift from reactive to proactive states. Using evidence-based methods, he equips individuals with practical tools to apply mindfulness for focus, clarity, and energy. This talk transforms abstract concepts into concrete techniques for thriving in high-pressure environments.
Maximizing High Performance Energy For Best Yield
This keynote uncovers how the brain and body manage energy for peak performance. Dr Etienne shares the science behind sustaining focus, creativity, and resilience in demanding contexts. He introduces strategies to align energy management with organisational priorities for optimal outcomes. Leaders and teams walk away understanding how to harness their energy for maximum impact and long-term success.
Understanding The Neuroscience Behind Rhythms (Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition, And Silencing The Mind) And Their Impact On Performance
Dr Etienne explains how biological rhythms – from sleep to nutrition to mental rest – profoundly influence brain performance. He demonstrates the science behind aligning daily routines with natural rhythms to boost focus, decision-making, and resilience. The talk bridges cutting-edge research with practical applications for healthier, high-performing teams. Audiences learn how to reset and optimise rhythms for sustainable wellbeing and productivity.
Systemic Resilience And The Dynamic Nature Of High Performance
This talk explores resilience not only as an individual capacity but as a systemic, dynamic phenomenon across organisations. Dr Etienne shares how neuroscience helps us understand the shifting demands of high performance in today’s world. He highlights the importance of adaptive systems that maintain resilience under pressure. Attendees leave with a science-based roadmap to foster resilience at every level of their organisation.
