Your Brain Is Sabotaging Your Leadership (And How to Train It)

Méline Liu

What if the real barrier to effective leadership isn’t strategy, skill, or experience - but the way your brain responds under pressure? In this conversation, Jason Leavy breaks down the emerging field of neuroscience-informed leadership and explains how leaders can strengthen clarity, resilience, and decision-making in a rapidly changing world.

We explore why modern leadership has become so cognitively demanding, how AI is reshaping the mental load placed on executives, and what the science reveals about attention, stress, emotional regulation, and focus. 

Jason shares the practical principles he teaches to founders, CEOs, and high-pressure teams - including how to recognise hidden neural patterns and retrain them for more confident leadership.
