Jeremy Doran helps seemingly incompatible people talk to each other. With degrees in mechanical engineering and psychology, he brings a rare perspective to one of the oldest problems in any workplace — people who think differently struggling to communicate with each other.

His work sits at the intersection of neuroscience and leadership communication. He speaks frequently to engineering, finance, and HR audiences, having delivered over 50 talks for organizations including Electric Boat, APWA, SHRM, and SAE. He was named one of the top 50 leadership speakers for manufacturing in 2026.

Before launching NeuroConversant Leadership, Jeremy spent a decade as a financial advisor — giving him firsthand experience with the communication challenges that come with managing both clients and teams across very different thinking styles.

Jeremy is also the host of the NeuroConversant Leadership podcast and has a particular focus on engineers who get promoted into leadership and suddenly have to manage people — something he knows from personal experience.

I started as a developer. I automated thousands of tests — because I had no interest in testing manually.
At some point I realized: the biggest problems in software teams are not technical. They are habit problems.

Today I guide companies through software modernization at Gepardec — and I give keynotes on the habits behind code quality, stress, and long-term performance.

My book FutureHabits is out fall 2026.

Lynda Williams spent a decade building an award-winning PR agency across South East Asia and Hong Kong. She led multi-generational teams, won international clients, and by every external measure — was at the top of her game. She also learned the hard way that resilience built on achievement rather than self-worth has a shelf life.
Now a Tranformation Coach, Key Note Speaker and host of the podcast P.S I Love Me, Lynda works with high-achieving individuals who are brilliant at performing — and ready to start leading differently.
Her keynote "Gen Z, Self-Worth and the Future of Leadership" is a straight-talking, deeply personal exploration of why Gen Z aren't the problem — they're the mirror. And what every leader in the room needs to look at before that mirror breaks.
Lynda brings rare credibility to this conversation — not as a theorist, but as someone who lived the old model, paid the price for it, and rebuilt from the inside out.
