Jennifer Edwards brings two decades of behavioral neuroscience and Fortune 100 leadership experience to Redmond audiences. Past Redmond-region work includes Microsoft.
Most communication training tells leaders what to say. Jennifer Edwards's work — anchored in two decades of behavioral neuroscience and her bestselling book Bridge the Gap — starts with the brain on the other side of the conversation. Her keynote "Talking to the Brain in Front of You" gives leaders a neuroscience-based operating system for the high-stakes conversations that shape culture, performance, and trust.
Redmond's Microsoft-anchored engineering leadership culture rewards communication discipline. Jennifer's Microsoft engagement gives her keynote direct credibility with Redmond audiences, and her behavioral neuroscience framing — "Talking to the Brain in Front of You" — speaks the language of an engineering-led leadership culture that respects rigor and dismisses fluff.
The three questions every brain silently asks before it can engage — and how to answer them in your opening sentences.
A practical framework — recognized by Inc. Magazine — for engaging resistant teams across diversity, generation, and ideology without the usual backfire.
How to hold steady, listen well, and respond clearly when the stakes are high and the room is hot.
