Jennifer Edwards brings two decades of behavioral neuroscience and Fortune 100 leadership experience to Mountain View audiences. Past Mountain View-region work includes Google.
Emotional intelligence has become a buzzword — repeated in performance reviews, included in leadership competencies, and almost never actually taught. Jennifer Edwards's TEDx talk "Elevate Your EQ" — viewed by audiences worldwide — translates two decades of behavioral neuroscience research into practices leaders can use the same week. Not a personality test. Not a vocabulary list. A trainable skill rooted in how the brain actually works.
Mountain View's engineering-led leadership culture produces a uniquely skeptical audience for emotional intelligence work — and Jennifer's behavioral neuroscience framing is the deliberate answer. Her work at Google and the broader Mountain View tech corridor demonstrates that EQ is not personality, motivation, or vibes — it's a trainable neurological skill measurable in decision quality, team retention, and cross-functional throughput. That framing earns the room.
Why emotional intelligence is not a personality trait — and the specific neurological practices that build it in working leaders.
How to detect and respond to the emotional currents that shape every meeting, negotiation, and decision.
Why emotional intelligence is the bridge across the four-generation workforce now sitting in the same Zoom call.
"Jennifer didn't just inspire our audience — she transformed how they think about communication. The standing ovation was just the beginning."
