Lynda is an experienced entrepreneur, having owned 3 businesses.  She holds a doctorate in cognitive neuroscience, specialising in unconscious processing of emotion and behavioural change.  She is an author, a professional speaker, mentor and works with senior leaders and their teams to communicate ideas.  This enables better business relationships, funding and investment opportunities, and spreading their genius to the outside world, something we badly need.
