Through Synaptic Potential, the organisation she founded, Amy has partnered with the Wales Centre for Behaviour Change, 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.
What sets Amy apart is her ability to make complex science engaging, humorous, and immediately actionable. Audiences don’t just listen – they experience lightbulb moments that shift their approach to work on the spot. Her keynotes go beyond inspiration, equipping leaders with tools to unlock innovation, agility, and productivity – without burnout.
Amy’s expertise is built on decades at the intersection of neuroscience and real-world application. Starting medical school at 18, she soon pivoted to independent research and collaborations with leading institutions, determined to bridge the gap between lab-based science and everyday performance. Today, she is known not just for what she knows, but for how she makes others feel – engaged, energised, and empowered with knowledge they can use immediately.
For organisations looking to future-proof their teams, elevate leadership, and unlock untapped potential, Amy Brann delivers more than just a talk – she delivers transformation.
Unlocking Whole Brain Potential™ for leaders to Deliver Sustainable High Performance
In a world of relentless change, working harder is no longer the answer—working smarter is. Yet, most professionals unknowingly sabotage their performance by ignoring how the brain actually works. The result? Burnout, inefficiency, and missed opportunities for innovation.
But what if leaders and teams could unlock a new level of performance, where productivity and wellbeing coexist? This keynote reveals the simple science-backed framework for sustainable high performance. Attendees will learn how to optimize their brain’s natural strengths, overcome cognitive bottlenecks, and embed habits that fuel long-term success—without exhaustion.
Unlocking Collaborative Excellence
In today’s fast-moving workplaces, silos, misalignment, and lack of communication are silent productivity killers. Even talented teams can struggle when trust is low, issues are unspoken, and collaboration feels like a battle instead of a breakthrough. But what if teams could work together seamlessly—sharing openly, aligning across departments, and driving results with ease and energy? This keynote reveals a science-backed and experience-driven framework to help leaders and teams create psychologically safe, high-trust environments where collaboration thrives. Attendees will learn how to break down silos, express challenges without conflict, and turn collective perspectives into smarter, faster decisions that stick.
Unlocking Entrepreneurial Agility
The pace of change has never been faster. Disruption is constant, uncertainty is the norm, and yesterday’s solutions rarely solve tomorrow’s challenges. In this environment, adaptability is no longer optional – it’s the core skill for thriving. Yet many professionals feel stuck – resisting change, overwhelmed by uncertainty, and hesitant to take entrepreneurial initiative. The result? Missed opportunities, stalled growth, and teams that can’t keep pace. But what if individuals could build the mindset and habits of entrepreneurial agility – embracing change, spotting opportunities, and turning challenges into fuel for growth? This keynote empowers people to become adaptable, resilient, and opportunity-focused, ready to
innovate and succeed no matter what the future holds.
Make Your Brain Work: Transforming Team Potential into Performance
In an era of AI disruption, global uncertainty, and unrelenting demands, understanding how to make your brain work smarter, not harder is no longer optional—it’s a competitive advantage.

But what if they could take back control? This masterclass gives individuals and teams the tools to navigate modern workplace challenges with greater mental clarity, resilience, and efficiency. By harnessing the latest insights in neuroscience, behavioral science, and high-performance psychology, your people will learn how to influence what feels outside their control—so they can stay focused, motivated, and effective even in high-pressure environments.
