“I’ve spent years studying the brain, but it’s the heart that’s taught me how to lead, heal and grow.” It’s all about our brains on today’s episode! Meet Silvia Damiano, a scientist, author, filmmaker, and lifelong explorer of the brain who has, over two decades, dedicated her work to understanding the inner workings of the mind and the power of emotion. The Argentina-born Silvia is the founder of the About my Brain Institute and creator of the i4 Neuroleader™ Model & Methodology which has been taught around the world and is reshaping the way we think about leadership. Silvia blends her background in neuroscience, education and leadership to help people reconnect with their innate creativity, intuition and sense of purpose.

Silvia’s documentary Make Me A Leader and her books Leadership is Upside Down and Brain-Friendly Leadership have inspired global audiences to rethink success, balance and self-awareness in the modern world. She collaborates closely with her adult children, Relmi and Sacha. Together they’ve recently created two powerful card decks: ‘Heart to Heart Conversations’ and ‘The Elephant in the Room’, designed to spark meaningful dialogue and deepen human connection.
