Silvia Damiano

Silvia's scientific background and curiosity about the human brain led her to a decade long journey of research into optimal brain functioning and the application of neuroscience in leadership and daily life. Her past and current roles have uniquely prepared her for the current undertaking, that of leadership activist & change agent.

Silvia Damiano founded the About my Brain Institute in 2009, with the purpose of democratizing leadership & neuroscience. She has a passionately held belief, that leaders in our 21st-century global economy and their organizations must radically change long-held ideas of what constitutes effective leadership.

In her ground-breaking book ‘Leadership is Upside Down’ and the 2018 documentary ‘MakeMe A Leader’, Silvia provides both compelling evidence and explores the importance of leadership in our personal and professional lives and what it takes to develop the human behind the leader.

Silvia has worked in different countries, across many industries, helping teams and organizations improve business performance. Silvia’s clients have described her as a passionate, dynamic, a highly experienced speaker and master facilitator on the topics of Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Change, Neuroleadership & Engagement.

Fredrik Haren

Fredrik has delivered 2,000 presentations in over 60 countries on 6 continents. He was voted Speaker of The Year in Sweden as well as selected as one of the "The Best Swedish Speakers Ever". He is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), one of 700 globally, as well as Global Speaking Fellow, one of only 30 globally.

He has authored 10 books, including "The Idea Book" which was included in "The 100 Best Business Books of All Time". He is also the author of "One World. One Company". It is a book about what it means to be a Truly Global Company.

Fredrik’s specialty is to be the “Global Conference Speaker”. He knows how to craft a speech so that, let’s say, an American, a Brazilian, a German and a Chinese all will be inspired and laugh and the same time feel that they walk away from the session with meaningful takeaways that were relevant to them. He will adapt and customize the keynote to ensure maximum impact for the audience.

Just last year, Fredrik spoke at 23 different global (or international conferences), and he was, again, invited to speak in 23 different countries on 4 continents. Fredrik is a truly global speaker, with examples from all over the world - suitable for your global (or international) conference.
