Episode 28: From awareness to action on corporate brain health

What’s holding leaders back from embracing brain health at work?

In this episode, Linda Jarnhamn sits down with Patricia Earhart Lewis for a role-reversal conversation exploring a major shift, from traditional people and sustainability frameworks to a sharper focus on brain capital and brain health.

While awareness is growing, Linda highlights a critical tension: leaders are both fascinated by and fearful of change. Many recognise the need for new ways of working, yet struggle to move away from deeply embedded habits.

From challenging outdated norms to translating neuroscience into practical interventions, this episode explores the real barriers and opportunities facing organisations today.

Key Topics Discussed

1. The awareness – action gap: Why leaders understand brain health matters, but hesitate to implement meaningful change 
2. Fundamental workplace redesign: Moving from extrinsic motivation and outdated work patterns to intrinsic, brain-aligned performance models 
3. From science to practice: Challenges and opportunities in translating neuroscience research into real-world organisational interventions
